This article deals with landscape as a nexus between the aesthetic experience and the metaphysical issue of Being, in order to highlight its epistemological power linked with thinking and experiencing the Being. On the basis of a landscape analysis made from an ontological perspective, it reveals itself as a specially qualified phenomenon for the development of a Metaphysics-esthetics as an inquiring and experiencing way, enabling a reconsideration of Metaphysics as theory and practice. Firstly I present an introduction to the metaphysics-esthetics (...) experience from a historical perspective, to expose next two ontological perspectives on landscape: a) as a part of a larger ontological chain and a subjective-objective co-production; b) as a proto-art of Nature, artwork and art of peoples.

RESUMEN En este artículo trazamos esquemáticamente los lineamientos de una filosofía del cine en general, a la vez que desarrollamos una perspectiva filosófica en particular, destacando las potencialidades del cine para con el pensamiento. Nos introducimos en la cuestión del cine sobre la base de una distinción ya clásica entre fenómeno cinematográfico y hecho filmico, para desarrollar a continuación las respuestas a las preguntas sobre el qué, el cómo y con qué de este último. De ese modo damos cuenta sumariamente (...) de la trama institucional y las prácticas implicadas en el cine como fenómeno determinado por la tecnología, a la par que desarrollamos los principales temas vinculados con el pensamiento en el cine, de acuerdo con las características propias de este como medio y como arte. ABSTRACT In this article I schematically present the guidelines of a philosophy of cinema in general and develop a particular philosophical perspective which emphasizes the potential of cinema for thinking. I approach the issue of cinema via the by now classic distinction between the cinematographic phenomenon and the filmic fact, in order to develop subsequently the answers to the questions about the what, the how and the with what of the latter. In this way I present a brief account of the institutional framework and the practices involved in cinema as a phenomenon determined by technology, while I develop the main subjects linked with thinking in cinema according to its own features as media and art.
