RIVAS GUERRERO, José Fabio. From Onofre Gil to Carlos Castilla del Pino: scientia, sapientia et infantia. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.144, pp.287-296.  Epub 15-Ene-2024. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352023000200016.

Although shorter in number than his essays and works on psychopathology, Carlos Castilla del Pino´s literary work is of great interest due to the quality of his writing and as a privileged memory of a time and a country. It shows his effort to create a personal, lucid, truthful, rational and beautiful discourse that was not only at the service of his own character, but also helped him to establish himself as a subject with scientia, sapientia and infantia. In this sense, we confront his two memoirs (Pretérito imperfecto and La casa del olivo) with his novel Discurso de Onofre: works that are dissimilar in principle, but that -curiously and in a privileged way- give an account of the continuum and the shocks, the risks and renunciations, that the adventure of living with the wisdom that emanates from knowing how to be in the world involves. In these works, the greater or lesser knowledge that the author has acquired throughout his life is tied with the joyful experience of the meaning of his own existence, and with the capacity to understand and enjoy what is good, fair and beautiful.
