El mito como base social frente al relato cientificista: una comparativa entre Novalis y Unamuno

Abstract

The aim of the following paper is to establish a comparative view between the essay Christendom or Europe, by the romantic German author Novalis, and the novel Saint Emmanuel the Good, Martyr, by Miguel de Unamuno. In spite of the generic differences between both works, it is our intention to prove that there is a common philosophical background, which consists of the proposal of myth as a way of interpreting the world, against a historical and cultural context of predominance of scientist philosophies.
