From how medieval architecture could be considered, paraphrasing the famous phrase of the Fathers of the North American Constitution -of the spirit, by the spirit and for the spirit- many questions arise, which, even today, generate not a few and intense debates -above all, now, on Social Networks, where 'Romanesque' tourism is in vogue, especially in Spain- at the bottom of which, however, the presence, more or less hidden, of a great truth is always located. This, that is to say, this great truth, can be more understandable if we try to observe it from the point of view of the two architectural styles -Romanesque and Gothic- which, from my humble point of view, most influenced the 'anima mundi' of medieval philosophical thought.
From a moderately psychological point of view, it could be affirmed, without fear of burning one's fingers in the inquisitorial bonfires of objectivity, that Romanesque Art, imbued with its characteristic darkness, represented introversion, where the faithful sought God in the intimacy of its footlights, while, on the contrary, the other side of the coin -that amusing, illusory and enigmatic aspect- that characterizes Gothic Art, came to represent precisely the opposite, extroversion, surrounding itself with light and tirelessly seeking, as Goethe rightly said, God in the heights.
De cómo la arquitectura medieval se podía considerar, parafraseando la famosa frase de los Padres de la Constitución norteamericana -del espíritu, por el espíritu y para el espíritu- se derivan muchas cuestiones, que, aun, en la actualidad, generan no pocos e intensos debates -sobre todo, ahora, en las Redes Sociales, donde el turismo ‘románico’ está de moda, sobre todo en España- en cuyo fondo, no obstante, siempre se localiza la presencia, más o menos oculta, de una gran verdad. Ésta, es decir, esa gran verdad, puede ser más comprensible, si intentamos observarla desde el punto de vista de los dos estilos arquitectónicos -el Románico y el Gótico- que, bajo mi humilde punto de vista, más influyeron en el ‘ánima mundi’ del pensamiento filosófico medieval.
Desde un punto de vista medianamente psicológico, se podría llegar a afirmar, sin temor de quemarse los dedos en las hogueras inquisitoriales de la objetividad, que el Arte Románico, imbuido de su característica oscuridad, representaba la introversión, donde el fiel buscaba a Dios en la intimidad de sus candilejas, mientras que, por el contrario, la otra cara de la moneda -ese aspecto divertido, ilusorio y enigmático- que caracteriza al Arte Gótico, venía a representar, precisamente, lo opuesto, la extroversión, rodeándose de luz y buscando incansablemente, como bien decía Goethe, a Dios en las alturas.

No se si un paseo romántico, pero si muy hermoso el camino y la arquitectura para admirarla en cada espacio construido y que queda como vestigio de grandes obras. Muchísimo éxito y un abrazo. @juancar347
I don't know if it's a romantic walk, but the path and the architecture are very beautiful to admire in every space built and that remains as a vestige of great works. Much success and a hug. @juancar347
