Abstract
Tymieniecka’s intuitions are cosmic and timeless in scope. If this makes her appear a visionary, it is because she is inspired by a substantive imagination which enables her to see beyond the wall of rationalism and chauvinistic attitudes, a fallacy of perception dramatically exposed in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Her perceptions of meaning come like shooting stars in flashes of insight, and the inner light that radiates in her comes to life in her poetic language.
