The Metaphysical Anthropology of Julian Marias

Tekst achterflap

This book provides a detailed account of Julián Marías's metaphysical anthropology with the ultimate aim of offering a coherent and systematic analysis of Marías's argumentation for claiming that the conscious hope for Christian salvation through resurrection - and with it the hope that Jesus Christ did actually resurrect, and more generally the hope that Christian revelation is true - is justified not because the certainty or the likelihood that this salvation will, as a matter of fact, actually occur, but because this hope amounts to a self-affirming exercise, a conscious endorsement of human reality, and as such a sign of authenticity. Alberto Oya (PhD) is a Research Fellow at the Instituto de Filosofia da Nova (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal). Oya has published over thirty papers in professional philosophical peer-reviewed journals and he is the author of the books First-Person Shooter Videogames (2023) and Unamuno's Religious Fictionalism (2020).
