Reseña del libro "Orphism and Tragedy: Myth Transfigured (en Inglés)"

A reimagining of the ancient Greek mystical movement Orphism. What does it mean to step outside the civic order through poetry? Ever since it first emerged in Greece around the sixth century BC, Orphic doctrine has marked a powerful rupture with the ancient world. Its salvific practices, closely tied to a belief in the soul's immortality, its resolute rejection of sacrificial ritual and embrace of vegetarianism, and its distinctive conception of time and memory all defined a way of life, the bios orphikos, that was at once poetic and political.In this brief yet densely layered text, Gianni Carchia returns to Orphism in all its implications. It becomes clear that, for Carchia, Orphism is not merely a historiographical concern, but an aesthetic and political one. If tragedy constitutes one of the central pillars around which the polis was formed, Orphism represents a radically different path--an alternative to the polis itself--by placing the poetic word, in all its autonomous power, at its core. And if the relationship between philosophy and tragedy has long been a central theme in the history of Western thought, Carchia's reflections here ask a different question: Is the Orphic path still accessible to us today?
