Heterogeneity of Being: On Octavio Paz's Poetics of Similitude

By Marco Luis Dorfsman

Heterogeneity of Being goes beyond the standard interpretations of Octavio Paz as a thinker of national identity and proposes a radical rethinking of the relationship between literature and philosophy. Dorfsman analyzes how Paz's "tradition of rupture" properly displays a continuity between self and other, identity and difference, time and space.
