Abstract

LASAGA MEDINA, José. Zirión’s Gaos. Diánoia [online]. 2022, vol.67, n.89, pp.91-101.  Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 0185-2450.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2022.89.1967.

The present text discusses the portrait of José Gaos that Antonio Zirión offers us in his recent book El sentido de la filosofía from two viewpoints: first, Gaos as a philosophy professor and, second, Gaos as a philosopher interested in the unresolved tension between phenomenology and metaphysics and in metaphysics as a problematic discipline in itself. The text also discusses the place that Gaos assigned to “arrogance” as an essential aspect of philosophical activity and the idea that philosophical statements are, in the end, nothing but the expression of a personal and unique perspective.

Keywords : phenomenology; arrogance; philosophy of philosophy; metaphysics; truth.
