English term or phrase: earthy and spiritual
Ciao a tutti,
la frase è la seguente:

"He liked him because he considered his character both earthy and spiritual".

Premetto che è una frase buttata lì, non c'è nulla nel contesto da cui si possa evincere il carattere del personaggio, perciò con questi pochi elementi voi interpretereste quell'earthy più come mondano (in contrapposizione a spiritual) o come semplice/schietto/spontaneo?

Grazie

concreto e spirituale
Explanation:
Come ha già anticipato dandamesh nella risposta precedente alla mia, sono favorevole a questa traduzione.
Se il testo dice :"both earthy and spiritual", sta evidenziando due qualità o caratteristiche opposte, come concreto, coi piedi per terra, pratico e spirituale, con tendenze mistiche, religioso.
