O tragičnom osjećanju života

Miguel de Unamuno

A philosophical work that explores the existential struggles of man faced with the finitude of life and the search for meaning. Unamuno, a Spanish philosopher and writer, writes from the perspective of a deep personal and intellectual conflict between rea

The book addresses a fundamental question: how can one live with faith in the immortality of the soul while facing the inevitability of death? Unamuno argues that the "tragic sense of life" arises from the tension between reason, which affirms mortality, and the longing for eternity, which is carried by faith. He sees this conflict between heart and mind as central to the human experience, especially in the Christian context.

Unamuno criticizes rationalism and dogmatic religion, emphasizing that true faith is not in certainty, but in struggle and doubt. He analyzes philosophical systems, from Spinoza to Kant, but insists that abstract philosophy cannot satisfy the deep human need for meaning. Instead, he proposes a life of passionate uncertainty, where one struggles for faith despite rational contradictions.

The work is deeply personal, imbued with Unamuno's own spiritual questioning and Spanish cultural context. His style is passionate, poetic, and polemical, often challenging the reader to confront their own existential questions. The book remains a classic work of existentialism, relevant to those searching for meaning in the modern world.
