Baltasar Gracián
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition
Baltasar Gracián , 1601-58, Spanish Jesuit philosopher and writer. A scholar, satirist, and epigrammatist, Gracián frequently ran afoul of Jesuit authority. El héroe (1637) and El político (1640) are treatises on the ideal qualities for political leaders. Agudeza y arte de ingenio [the wit and art of genius] (1643) is an analysis of poetry. Oráculo manual y arte de prudencia (1647) contains maxims and instructions for acquiring worldly wisdom. Gracián's masterpiece is the allegorical and pessimistic novel El criticón (3 parts, 1651-57), which contrasts an idyllic primitive life with the evils of civilization. It brought him exile and disgrace.
