Machado, philosophy, logic, epistemology, knowledgeAbstract
This essay focuses mainly on the epistemological aspect of Machado’s philosophy: its opinions on knowledge and ignorance, his conclusions about the mechanisms of the mind and his advices on the field of the pedagogical application of knowledge; this is: about learning and teaching. The main texts that are the basis of this study are Juan de Mairena. Sentencias, donaires, apuntes y recuerdos de un profesor apócrifo (1936) and Los complementarios, in which the author creates an imaginary teacher to present his ideas on the subject. These two sources are complemented by various poems of a philosophical nature in which his thought is synthesized.Downloads
