Abstract

JURI, Amira. Gibran Khalil Gibran: Homo Religiosus and Homo Poeticus, Characterization and Resonance. Franciscanum [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.163, pp.215-256. ISSN 0120-1468.

By inquiring the philosophical vocation, the religious disposition and the poetic speech like instances that can converge and articulate experiences, is where we discover profound similarities instead of differences. We focus on the work by the Lebanese-American poet Gibran Khalil Gibran, as an example of interaction between religious and philosophical thought made real through poetry and as proposal of ecumenism, because it is a synthesis between religious and both East and West cultural idiosyncrasy. The anthropological and aesthetic projection of this analysis, mainly hermeneutic, found some of the primordial meanings that cross the human condition, in the intimate relationship between homo religiosus and homo poeticus.

Keywords : Khalil Gibran; homo poeticus; homo religiosus; the East; the West.
