La ciencia en el infierno: Blumenberg y el hombre-árbol de ‘El jardín de las delicias’
Keywords:
Hans Blumenberg, Bosch, Treeman, Dante, Ulises, Modern science
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the relations between Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights and Hans Blumenberg’s work. I propose a detail that belongs to the section of the Hell, the treeman, in the version produced by an anonymous follower of the Bosch, as a key to understand Blumenberg’s history and philosophy but also his view on the cultural origins of modern science, developed in Die Legitimität der Neuzeit [1966] and Die Genesis der kopernikanischen Welt [1975]. I focuse on Christian iconological tradition, represented in Bosch’ triptych and Dante’s Divine Comedy.Downloads
