Horizonte del liberalismo is the first book written by María Zambrano, published in 1930. It addresses crucial issues about the crisis of Western culture and its connection to the political crisis of liberalism. Zambrano proposes a socializing "New Liberalism" and an interrogative method that seeks the reverse of ideas, anticipating her approach of "poetic reason." The book establishes a dialogue between the cultural and political critique of the West and speculative and poetic approaches. In addition, the influences of Unamuno, Blas Zambrano, Machado and Ortega, as well as the ideas of Nietzsche, Simmel, Bergson, Spranger and Spengler, are explored.
María Zambrano Alarcón was a Spanish philosopher, intellectual, and essayist. Her extensive work between poetic reflection and civic engagement was not recognized in Spain until the last quarter of the 20th century, after a nearly 45-year-long exile. In 1988, Zambrano became the first woman to receive the Premio Cervantes, the highest literary honor in the Spanish-speaking world. She is increasingly regarded as one of the most important voices of the 20th century, and Spanish scholarship often places her alongside thinkers such as Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, as well as her close friend and contemporary Rosa Chacel.
