In Spanish. Uncommon in the US. The most recent or 'final' edition. Arguably the gold standard in Spanish-language philosophical reference works. It provides in-depth entries on philosophers, concepts, schools of thought, and movements, reflecting a nuanced understanding of Western and Spanish traditions. “José María Ferrater Mora (Catalan: Josep Ferrater i Mora; 30 October 1912 – 30 January 1991) was a Spanish philosopher, essayist and writer. He is considered the most prominent Catalan philosopher of the 20th-century and was the author of over 35 books, including a four-volume Diccionario de filosofía (Dictionary of Philosophy, 1941) and Being and Death: An Outline of Integrationist Philosophy (1962). Subjects he worked on include ontology, history of philosophy, metaphysics, anthropology, the philosophy of history and culture, epistemology, logic, philosophy of science, and ethics. He also directed several films. Ferrater Mora was known for his inclusion of humans and non-human animals within the same moral sphere, or continuum, arguing that the difference was one of degree, not kind.”—Wikipedia. He was a Spanish Civil War exile who joined the Republicans. // **A heavy item. Weighs 9 lbs 10 ounces before packing. Additional postage fees may be needed for international or expidted shipping.
