Abstract

This article addresses the problem of the relationship between the tragic and the divine taking as a fundamental reference the book by Maria Zambrano originally written in 1955 and revised twenty years later. It is one of the most lucid defences of the Christian religion, always on guard against the mythical way of conceiving the world. The underlying assumption is that the gods of mythology are human products, while, conversely, the Christian God creates men. At no time did Zambrano feel the slightest willingness to discuss such an argument. A criticism of that position is proposed here.
