Description
Millán-Puelles Vol. XI Complete Works
Book Summary
This eleventh volume of the Complete Works of Antonio Millán-Puelles brings together three fundamental titles from his intellectual maturity: the two volumes of "The Logic of Metaphysical Concepts" and "The Immortality of the Human Soul." The reader will find a rigorous investigation into the transcendental structure of the subject, where reason and freedom are intertwined in a permanent metaphysical horizon. The work offers an ontology of the spirit that transcends the purely speculative realm to illuminate anthropological, social, and cultural questions, consolidating its author as one of the most profound voices of contemporary Hispanic thought.
What is it about?
The volume is structured in three works that address, from a metaphysical perspective, the nature of the human being and their capacity for knowledge. In "The Logic of Metaphysical Concepts," Millán-Puelles analyzes in two volumes the articulation of transcendental and extracategorial concepts, unraveling how human reason can access the deepest structures of reality. In "The Immortality of the Human Soul," the author philosophically defends the survival of the spirit beyond death, connecting this thesis with his ontology of the subject. Throughout these pages, the thinker from Cádiz develops a philosophy that integrates logic, metaphysics, and anthropology, demonstrating how the higher faculties of the human being are articulated in a transcendental unity that gives meaning to their existence.
