Resumen
Este trabajo pretende investigar el significado estético de la
emergencia de la mitología como tema para la filosofía alemana del siglo XVIII, a partir del ensayo de Herder, “Del nuevo uso
de la mitología” de 1767. Contra la Ilustración, que considera
la mitología irracional, Herder la toma por un potente lenguaje
que une los conceptos abstractos y la expresión sensible,
mediante dos fuerzas antagónicas: de un lado, la analítica y
filosófica, y de otro la sintética y poética. Según ese esquema,
Herder anticipa de forma pionera la propuesta de una nueva
mitología, que surge décadas posteriores en El programa sistemático
más antiguo del idealismo alemán y ofrece una temprana
interpretación de la propuesta de reconducción de la filosofía
a la poesía y de la centralidad del mito en las estéticas románticas
e idealistas.
Our proposal is to research the meaning for aesthetics of the emergence of mythology as a theme in German philosophy of the Eighteenth Century, based on the inaugural gesture of Herder in his essay “Of the new use of mythology”, in 1767. Against the Enlightenment, which considered mythology irrational, Herder came through an understanding of this powerful language that connects abstract concepts and sensible expression by means of two opposing forces: one analytical and philosophical, and another synthetic and poetic. Following this, he argues and anticipates the proposal of a new mythology, as it would later appear in The Oldest Systematic Program of German Idealism, offering an early interpretation of the proposed return of philosophy to poetry and the centrality of myth in romantic and idealist aesthetics.
