Ethics and Human Person According to Hispanic Ratiovitalism: Contributions of Julián Marías’s Philosophy

Abstract

This paper intends to expose and analyze the arguments of philosopher Julián Marías regarding the problem of ethics of the human person, from the approach of human life and the metaphysical anthropology. A member of the “School of Madrid”, his thinking has been inspired by the philosophy of Ortega y Gasset. This paper seeks to recover that influence’s context, to introduce the main concepts of its theoretical model, and to present their considerations about life as a projective, biographical argument, an installation of the circumstances and mundane situations, as ways of constructing the person.
