  • (Neo)Platonic Thought in Saint John of the Cross and Stéphane Mallarmé Felix K. E. Schmelzer Lengua y Literatura Stéphane Mallarmé (Neo) Platonic Thought Saint John of the Cross Religion and Literature Studies Modern Poetry and Christian Mysticism Conceived as the outline of a more detailed comparison, the present work aims to contribute to a better understanding of the similarities between Chris­tian mysticism and modern lyrical poetry through a concrete comparison between Saint John of the Cross and Stéphane Mallarmé, focusing on four common (neo) Platonic ideas that determine their thought and poetry: first, both regard themselves as a mere medium through which an absolute spirit expresses itself; second, the deconstruction of language plays a central role in their work; third, both authors circle around the idea of a purification of the soul; last but not least, the idea which lies at the core of their work seems to be true self-recognition, that is, a self-con­templation of the individual soul that leads to a self-contemplation of the divine within ourselves. 2018 artículo científico 2328-1308 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=517558793037 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5175/517558793037/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5175/517558793037/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5175/517558793037/517558793037.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5175/517558793037/movil https://doi.org/10.13035/H.2018.06.02.38 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5175 Hipogrifo.
