<p></p><p>This book analyzes the exile ontology of Spanish philosopher María Zambrano (1904-1991). Karolina Enquist Källgren connects Zambranos lived exile and political engagement with the Spanish Civil War to her poetic reason, and argues that Zambrano developed a theory of expressive subjectivity that combined embodiment with the expressive creativity of the human mind. The analysis of recurring literary figures and conceptssuch as new materialism, the confession, image, the ruin, the heart, and awakening show how a comprehensive argument runs as a thread through her works. Further, this book situates Zambranos thought in a larger European philosophical context by showing how Zambranos poetic reason was directly related to her unconventional exile readings of Martin Heidegger, Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, and Xavier Zubiri, among others.</p><p></p>
