Abstract
SABA, MARIANO NICOLÁS. AN ANTI-ERUDITE GENEALOGY: THE SPHINX, FROM UNAMUNO TO BERGAMÍN AND ZAMBRANO. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.24, pp.13-30. Epub July 29, 2021. ISSN 2145-8987. https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202112.24.01.
Given the importance that the Sphinx acquires in attacking the erudite hegemony during the beginning of the Spanish twentieth century, this article thinks about the way in which this metaphor works especially within Unamuno's essayism, and how its legacy also resonates in José Bergamín and María Zambrano. In this way, the objection to superficial historicism and philosophical academicism will provide a variety of proposals on the need to found a new knowledge linked to subjectivity and experience, in an anti-erudite intellectual continuity that usually refers to the metaphor of Sphinx.
