Unamuno and his interpretation of Pascal: «Del sentimiento trágico de la vida» as a principle of solidarity action
Abstract Unamuno regarded Pascal as one of his «spiritual brothers», as «someone who could feel» essential problems as he did himself. This article deals with Unamuno’s interpretation of Pascal from his tragic vision of the human condition, focusing on the period from 1897 to 1912. The article includes Unamuno’s unpublished notes (MCU 68/15 and MCU 68/34) and his assessment of the book written by A. Vinet on Pascal, based on another unpublished manuscript (MCU 85/50). Lastly, the article emphasises the affinity between both thinkers who, by analysing conflicts and the tragic sense of human existence in depth, looked for the transcendental foundation of moral principles that would cause solidarity and a committed action to arise from the abyss of misery.
