Buy books by Xavier Zubiri
Spanish philosopher. He was a member of the School of Madrid, composed of philosophers José Ortega y Gasset, Julián Marías and Pedro Laín Entralgo, among others. Zubiri's philosophy has been categorized as a "materialist open realism", which "attempted to reformulate classical metaphysics, in a language that was entirely compatible with modern science". Zubiri's philosophy is little known outside of Spain and Latin America, mostly because Zubiri was compelled to resign from formal academic positions in Spain, in 1942, due to the lack of academic freedoms in Francisco Franco's regime.
