Miguel de Unamuno (socialist)

Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936) was a Spanish writer and philosopher known for his complex views on individual identity, faith, and society. While he supported some socialist ideas like social justice and equality, he was not a strict socialist; instead, he emphasized personal integrity, cultural traditions, and spiritual values. Unamuno believed in human dignity and intellectual freedom, often questioning authoritarianism and dogma. His thought resisted simple labels, blending existentialism with a concern for the soul of Spain, advocating for a society that respects individual conscience within social progress.
