This paper aims to explore how literary imagination (and its research) can access new kinds of reality and knowledge. The study focuses on the Cuban writer José Lezama Lima, who attempted to extend and reformulate the Aristotelian causality. Lezama Lima developed concepts that the science only achieved to understand a decades later throughout the Complexity Sciences, the General Systems Theory and the Paul Ricoeur´s hermeneutics. The bibliographic research and the contrast with scientific theories prevalent during his time or slightly after, it becomes evident that the Cuban writer had a visionary understanding of reality compared to the science of his time.
Keywords: José Lezama Lima, Metaphor, Myth, Non-causality, Science epistemology.
