Abstract

This essay analyzes the convergence between philosophical thought and literary creation in the work of José Lezama Lima, positing that his intellectual production constitutes a poetic cosmology where the image acts as a hypothesis of possibility. The objective is to unravel how Lezama integrates philosophical concepts and biographical experiences to configure his "poetic system." Through a hermeneutic review, key milestones such as “La expresión americana” and the novel Paradiso are examined. The central thesis argues that in Lezama's work, metaphor and image are not mere aesthetic resources, but gnoseological categories that allow for overcoming traditional historical causality. It is concluded, supported by recent criticism, that his work proposes an integrative vision where philosophy and literature are indissoluble, functioning as a mechanism of human redemption through culture.
