The approximation to the figure and thought of Unamuno to one of the early works of Kazantzakis, specifically Comedia, allows to generate an interesting dialogue between the authors. In these intellectuals one can observe a “heterodoxy” which confronts them to the spirit of the time under an attitude of protest towards the abuse of reason and the breaking of totalizing discourses. Both authors search a way out by means of the individual.
