Rainer Maria Rilke, poeta de lo invisible. La trascendencia de la muerte en la obra tardía del poeta: Las elegías del Duino y Los sonetos a Orfeo

This paper proposes a philosophical-literary interpretation of the work of Rainer Maria Rilke, carried out, fundamentally, from: Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus. It is suggested that the Rilkean work contains a proposal for a solution to the existential problem of man in the world, in the context of the crisis of modernity. The poet describes a way to achieve a new human root, whose fundamental axis is the acceptance of death, which is materialized in the acquisition of awareness of one’s own body and its finitude, based on sensitive experiences.
