Summary

An introduction to the thought of three major philosophers of twentieth-century Spain.

This collection provides an excellent introduction to three of the most important names in twentieth-century Spanish philosophy: Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936), José Ortega y Gasset (1883–1955), and José Ferrater Mora (1912–1991). The thought-provoking work of these great contemporary philosophers offers a rich and penetrating insight into human existence. Originally written by Ferrater Mora in the middle of the last century, his interpretations of Unamuno and Ortega are considered classics, and the chapter on his own thought reflects his mature thinking about being and death. Each essay is introduced by noted Ferrater Mora scholar J. M. Terricabras and contains updated biographical and bibliographic information.

"This book introduces, clearly and with a sure eye, the philosophical climate of twentieth-century Spain. Ferrater Mora draws out the most important themes of Unamuno, Ortega, and his own work, in a manner that could easily serve as an introduction to twentieth-century Spanish thought." — Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, World Institute for Advanced Phenomenological Research and Learning

Born and educated in Spain, José Ferrater Mora lived and taught in the United States for more than forty years and lectured throughout the world. A prolific writer, he is particularly well known for his four-volume Diccionario de filosofía. J. M. Terricabras is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Ferrater Mora Chair at the Universitat de Girona and the author of several books, including most recently, Raons i tòpics: catalanisme i anticatalanisme.
