RICO LEON, Patricia Georgina. Diary, Dietary and Aphorism. The Circumstantial Writing of the Notebooks of José Gaos. Acta poét [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.167-192.  Epub 06-Maio-2024. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2024.1/00s231xo078.

The notebooks where José Gaos wrote notes day by day har-bor the seeds of later publications, but their intellectual value has not always been recognized. This article examines the tensions between relegation to privacy and appreciation as a valuable part of professional work. To do this, the conceptions associated with three genres with which the author came to link them are explored: the diary, the diary and the aphorism. The confrontation of these theoretical categories with the practice that Gaos carried out in his notebooks highlights problematic aspects in the generic definitions and complements the portrait of the philosopher’s work.
