Spanish philosophy

Spanish philosophy encompasses a rich tradition of thought from the medieval period through the modern era, often blending metaphysics, ethics, and politics. Notably influenced by figures like Miguel de Unamuno and José Ortega y Gasset, it emphasizes individual existence, the struggle for meaning, and the relationship between self and society. Spanish philosophers have engaged deeply with existential questions, often reflecting on identity, culture, and historical context. This philosophical discourse also includes contributions from scholastics like Thomas Aquinas and later modern thinkers, shaping debates around knowledge, morality, and the human condition within both Spain and the broader European context.
