Del vínculo trascendental entre la modernidad, lo barroco y lo romántico

Resumen

This dissertation contains an introduction and three sections. In the former I explain the import of the concepts that I use here so as to show that the baroque and the romantic have a philosophical relevance because they show each to its own the difference of subjectivity and nature that is the starting point of Modernity. In the first section I reconstruct the Cartesian project of a methodical certainty that overcomes the contradictions of the ancient metaphysics and I show too why that project implies a conflictive relation between the representation and the sensitivity that contradicts it through the deceitful seductiveness of images and the force of time that devastates any sense. In the second section, I show that this leads us to the baroque, that I consider a way for represent the tension between subjectivity and absolute temporality. In the last section I do the same regarding the romantic, which I take as the experience of the desiderative complexity of the subject.
