La dispersión

Dispersion, published by Eugenio Trías at the beginning of the seventies, offers a set of aphorisms -lucid and playful- on the main themes and problems of philosophy, art, writing itself and also human activity. Each one of these brief texts constitutes an invitation to reflect on those issues that, due to their transcendental nature, have been a permanent object of our concerns. A vitalist Eugenio Trías, at times carnivalesque and hedonistic but always deeply platonic, throws a glove at the reader in each text of this suggestive and provocative book that encourages reflection and even controversy as well. And it is that, as Trías himself pointed out, 'Writing is inscribing something in the flesh. It is tattooing the one who reads.'
