‘Del sentimiento trágico de la vida’ is a philosophical essay written by the Spanish philosopher and writer Miguel de Unamuno. It was first published in 1912. The title translates to ‘The Tragic Sense of Life’ in English.
In this work, Unamuno explores the concept of the ‘tragic sense of life, ‘ which he sees as an inherent aspect of the human condition. He delves into questions related to the meaning of existence, the nature of human suffering, and the search for truth and certainty in an uncertain world.
Unamuno argues that human beings are constantly confronted with the existential dilemma of grappling with their mortality and the uncertainty of their fate. He suggests that this awareness of our own mortality gives rise to a sense of tragedy and existential anguish that permeates our experience of life.
Throughout the essay, Unamuno draws on a variety of philosophical, literary, and religious sources to examine the complexities of the human condition and to offer insights into how individuals can confront and embrace the inherent tragedy of existence.
‘Del sentimiento trágico de la vida’ is considered one of Unamuno’s most important works and has had a significant influence on existentialist thought and literary criticism. Its exploration of existential themes and its profound insights into the human experience continue to resonate with readers to this day.
