Aesthetics emerges as an alternative to a culture that often prioritizes objectivity, emphasizing subjectivity and originality. The artist seeks to re-interpret reality, offering a second way of seeing the world. It's not just any distortion; the more profound the distortion, the better. The artist never shows objective truth, but a distorted one. Aesthetics is not measured by utility; art begins where something ceases to be useful.

Lazarillo de Tormes (1554)

Four editions appeared in a book called The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes and His Fortunes and Adversities. The author remained anonymous. It blends epistolary genre features (a letter to 'Your Grace') and initiates the picaresque novel. Told in the first person, it recounts the protagonist's life. Lazarillo, a rogue of humble social status, advances through cunning and deceit. The narrative comprises a prologue and seven chapters (treaties), each detailing his service to a different master. The structure is circular (beginning and ending in adulthood) and internally linear (chronological events). Lazarillo, an antihero, undergoes negative evolution, losing innocence with each master and becoming disillusioned. His masters

2 .- Analysis of the basic process of knowledge
All knowledge is a form of relationship between two terms or words, first the subject (subjective pole) and the other the object (objective pole)
Latin subjectum subjective (subject) is related to the subject
Objective, emphasizes the known object
Example:
Three people are witnesses of fact, each is described separately, if all three match, the description was objective.
We say objective by describing the event as it is, if they were subjective each person had given his opinion and point of view, so that each description would have been different.
Knowledge is thus the relationship between subject and object, this relationship in some form of presence of the object in the subject.
This... Continue reading "Concept of education" »
