Abstract
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the philosophic theory, grounded on the scientific method of René Descartes, contributed to solve the dichotomies (light x dark, good x evil, transitory x eternal), based on the figures of speech (metaphors, hyperbole, paradox, antithesis), used to cause an emotional impact on men, as a catharsis, especially for the strengthening of Catholic faith; existents in the composition and production of arts, with more specificity in literature, in the Baroque period. In using the literature, visual arts and philosophy as analytic tools, intend to contribute to put a spotlight on the Baroque, and in this way, to reveal important aspects of this period style, which left its mark on the history of art of the Western civilization.
Keywords: Barroco; art, literature; figures of speech; Cogito, reason; emotion, dichotomy, scientific method.
