Xavier Zubiri |
Xavier Zubiri Xavier Zubiri was born in San Sebastián, northern Spain, in
1898. After a bachelor's degree on Philosophy at the University of Louvain
and a doctorate in Theology in Rome, the author obtained his doctorate in
Philosophy at the Central University of Madrid. His thesis “Essay on a
phenomenological theory of judgement”, developed under the guidance of José
Ortega y Gasset, already reveals the great influence of Edmund
Husserl and his phenomenology in his first intellectual stage – also
known as the youth stage. "Going to the things themselves", the
mutual reference in the intentional consciousness of the noetic and the
noematic, that is, the subject and the object, will become the central pillar
of his later thinking. After a few years of teaching, he was authorised
to continue his studies. In Freiburg he had the opportunity to study with
Husserl himself and Martin Heidegger. This would be his
second intellectual stage, also known as the ontological stage; he would
elaborate his own concept of being, but distanced from Heidegger, as he
didn't consider it to be a central concept, but one that depended on reality.
During his stay in Germany, he had the opportunity to meet Max Plank, Albert
Einstein, and Erwin Schrödinger. He returned to Spain, but
during the Civil War (1936-1939), he moved to Paris where he met Jacques
Maritain, Émile Benveniste, and Louis De Broglie,
and can be considered to have had contact with the vanguard of European
thought in the first half of the 20th century. From 1940 to 1942, he took up the Chair of
Philosophy at the University of Barcelona, but it would be in Madrid, and
more precisely from 1945 onwards, that he would develop his third and final
intellectual stage: the metaphysical stage, which focus would be reality, its
structure, dimensions, and forms. From 1977 onwards, the author dedicated
himself to bibliographical production that would show the richness of his
mature thought: Intelligence and Reality (1980), Intelligence and Logos
(1982), Intelligence and Reason (1983); he was still working on what would be
his most mature work Man and God, when he died suddenly on 21 September 1983. However, his legacy has not been interrupted:
the Fundación Xavier Zubiri has dedicated itself
intensively to publishing his texts, as well as preserving and deepening his
thought. Some of his posthumous titles are: On Man; The Fundamental Problems
of Western Metaphysics; The Dynamic Structure of Reality; On Reality; On Feeling
and Volition; Space, Time, Matter; The Theological Problem of Man:
Christianity; The Historical Problem of Religions; Man and Truth. In addition, the Fundación,
together with the various Zubiri circles spread throughout different
countries, organises international congresses on Zubiri and his realism:
Madrid (1993), San Salvador (2005), Valparaiso (2010), Morelia (2014), Bari
(2019) and São Paulo (2023). |
