| Sumario: | The word Misericordia (Mercy), the title of one of Benito Pérez Galdós’s last novels, indicates the philosophical meditation nature of this contribution. This word, emblematic of what Unamuno and Zambrano designated with the term ‘piety’, the key to their thought, and Galdosian characters such as Benina and Almudena, anachronistic examples of the ‘intrahistory’ of the same, provide an atmosphere appropriate to linking the work of both thinkers. With great mastery of the Spanish, Latin American and Western philosophical and literary tradition, as well as of the Castilian language, both Unamuno and Zambrano poured into many texts that are difficult to read today, their shared passion for finding in the depths of the human ‘mystery’ the root of a possible, though difficult (agonizing) coexistence. In this paper we will look at them. |
