Synopsis "El Hombre de Genio y la Melancolia (in Spanish)"

El texto que hoy presentamos?y que se ha atribuido tradicionalmente a Aristóteles?aunque es de pequeñas dimensiones, se encuentra en el origen de una vasta y fecunda literatura que se ha interrogado sobre las relaciones entre la melancolía y la creatividad. Los hombres de genio, los grandes creadores?se pregunta?, ¿no se encuentran precisamente entre los depresivos y los melancólicos? El problema XXX, titulado aquí El hombre de genio y la melancolía, ha preocupado a médicos y filósofos, desde la Antigüedad hasta nuestros días, iluminando tanto la «melancolía» de los antiguos como el «spleen» de los modernos, en un viaje de fascinante y fructífero recorrido.

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.

Compré el libro por curiosidad, puesto que ya había leído el escrito de Aristóteles en Saturno y la Melancolía (Klibansky, Saxl, Panofsky). Se debe considerar que más de la mitad del libro es un prólogo, más bien, una investigación entorno a la obra de Aristóteles, complementada con citas de autores de diferentes épocas que reflexionan sobre la melancolía (bilis negra).
