The Artist and the City(by Eugenio Trias)

This brilliant essay, wich won in Spain the prestigious Anagrama Prize, was writting by Eugenio Trias, the only spaniard philosopher who won Nietszche Award, the Nobel in philosophy. Since Plato and the ancient greeks there has been a " marriage"between" eros and poiesis, between life andcreativity,and the artist and his subjectivity and the commonlaws and culture of the "polis" . There was also a changing alliance between these terms trought the Rennaisance thinker Pico della Mirandola, Goethe, Hegel and Nietzshe, but there are a very divorce, as has seen for example novelist Thomas Mann, in modern art. because and excese of criticism. A divorce that we have to put end, or art will .never have again its own and lost fertility.
