Julián Marías Aguilera (Valladolid, June 17, 1914 – Madrid, December 15, 2005) was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. A Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Madrid, he was one of the most prominent disciples of José Ortega y Gasset, his teacher and friend, with whom he founded the Institute of Humanities of Madrid in 1948.

He was a member of the Real Academia Española from 1964 and a senator by royal appointment between 1977 and 1979. He presided over the Foundation for Sociological Studies (FUNDES) from its creation in 1979 until his death. A lecturer in numerous countries of Europe and America, and a professor at several universities in the United States, he also contributed to numerous newspapers.

In 1996 he was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities, shared with Indro Montanelli.

Biography

He was born in Valladolid on June 17, 1914. In 1919 he moved with his family to Madrid, where he studied at the Colegio Hispano. In 1931 he obtained the Bachiller degree, in Sciences (with an extraordinary award) and in Letters, at the Instituto Cardenal Cisneros.

Between 1931 and 1936 he studied Philosophy and Letters (specializing in Philosophy), receiving the licentiate award in 1939, at the Complutense University of Madrid, where he was a disciple of Ortega y Gasset, Xavier Zubiri, José Gaos and Manuel García Morente, among others. He also began a degree in Chemistry, which he abandoned upon realizing that his true vocation was philosophy.

At the age of twenty-six, he wrote a Historia de la filosofía (History of Philosophy) citing original texts that he consulted in his private library. He learned Greek at Xavier Zubiri's suggestion and, reading the first edition of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit in 1934, perfected the German he had learned in his secondary school classes with Manuel Manzanares. His first publication of some substance was his participation in the book Juventud en el mundo antiguo, published in 1934 (it collected texts by Marías, Carlos Alonso del Real and Manuel Granell), recounting the university cruise that these students made across the Mediterranean Sea in 1933, in which Salvador Espriu, Enrique Lafuente Ferrari, Luis Díez del Corral, Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar and others also took part. Likewise, in 1934 he published a translation of Auguste Comte, commissioned by Ortega.

Marías obtained his licentiate in June 1936. A month later the Civil War broke out. Marías was recruited into the Republican ranks, but because of his myopia he was not sent to the front, remaining instead in the translation service, given his knowledge of French, German and English, among other languages. During the war, he contributed to magazines such as Hora de España. After the Battle of the Ebro and the rapid occupation of Catalonia, Marías supported the establishment of the National Defence Council advocated by Julián Besteiro, who had been a professor in his Faculty, as well as by José Miaja, Cipriano Mera and Segismundo Casado, in the pages of the Republican ABC, through editorials that appeared unsigned. In his memoirs, Marías reproduces the last of those articles, «La grandeza del Consejo Nacional de Defensa» (The Greatness of the National Defence Council), and provides an interesting testimony about the last days of the war in Madrid. Luis Español published some of these editorials, and after Marías's death, his disciple Heliodoro Carpintero published them in their entirety.

Once the war was over he was denounced, supposedly by one of his best friends, Carlos Alonso del Real. The denunciation was supported by an archaeology professor, Julio Martínez Santa-Olalla, and had the testimony of the novelist Darío Fernández Flórez. Marías spent a few months in prison and could have been sentenced to harsher penalties had it not been for the intercession of Salvador Lissarrague Novoa, Camilo José Cela, Manuel Mindán Manero and Ortega's family. He was sidelined by the Franco regime and could not obtain his doctorate until 1951 (his thesis on Father Gratry, submitted in 1942, had been failed). As in many other cases, he was offered a position in the university, but he rejected the offer because he refused to swear allegiance to the Fundamental Principles of the Movement. Nor could he publish in the press until well into the 1950s, and for a long time he survived by translating books (Paul Hazard, Leibniz, Seneca, Wilhelm Dilthey, Karl Bühler, etc.), teaching classes at an academy (Aula Nueva) created with a group of friends, and later through lectures and talks, in Spain and abroad.

In 1941 he married Dolores Franco Manera (1912–1977), elder sister of the film director Jesús Franco, a classmate of Marías in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, a teacher and writer. With her he had five sons: Julián (1945–1949); Miguel (1947), economist and film critic; Fernando (1949), full professor of Art History; Javier (1951), writer; and Álvaro (1953), musician.

In 1941 he published his first book: Historia de la filosofía (with a foreword by Zubiri, and in later editions with a posthumous epilogue by Ortega), an extensive, engaging and concise review of the subject from its origins up to that time which, given the clarity of its exposition, would become a successful textbook among Hispanic students and, following its translation into English, also among those in the English-speaking world. This early work already displays some of the keys to Marías's characteristic style: clarity and transparency in exposition, rigor in the sources, and explanation from the standpoint of the philosophy of vital reason, which he shared with his teacher Ortega. More than seventy books would follow this one: Marías, who was unable to fulfill his vocation as a teacher in Spain, devoted himself to writing to make up for this lack and also to avoid falling into what his two principal teachers, Ortega y Gasset and Unamuno, had fallen into: leaving projects unfinished, books announced but not written.

In 1948, together with Ortega y Gasset, he founded the Institute of Humanities of Madrid, active for two academic years, which had contributions from Emilio García Gómez, Benito Gaya and Valentín de Sambricio, among others.

Quite some time later, he created the Seminar of Humanities, through which passed great names of the Spanish intelligentsia of the last third of the 20th century, such as Miguel Artola, Carmen Martín Gaite, Heliodoro Carpintero, Gonzalo Anes and others.

A practicing Catholic, Marías took part in the sessions of the Second Vatican Council. In 1982 he became a member of the Pontifical International Council for Culture, created by John Paul II.

In 1947 he won the Fastenrath Prize for his work Miguel de Unamuno. In 1964 he won the Kennedy Prize awarded by the Institute of North American Studies of Barcelona. From 1964 he was a member of the Real Academia Española, occupying seat «S». In 1971 he won the Juan Palomo Prize for Antropología metafísica. In 1972 he won the Gulbenkian Prize for Essay. In 1973 he received the Essay Prize of the Académie du Monde Latin. In 1975 he won the Ramón Godó Prize for journalism. He was also a senator by royal appointment between 1977 and 1979. A year later he delivered the proclamation (pregón) of Holy Week in Valladolid.

In 1985 he received the Mariano de Cavia Prize for his article «La libertad en regresión». In 1987 he received the Castile and León Prize for Letters. In 1990 he entered the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. In 1993 he received the French insignia of the Order of Arts and Letters. In 1996 he received the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities, together with the Italian journalist and historian Indro Montanelli. In 2001, the Gold Medal of Merit in Labor. In 2002, the 16th Menéndez Pelayo International Prize, as well as the Cristóbal Gabarrón Prize for Thought and Humanities. In 2003, the Culture Prize of the Community of Madrid.

He died in Madrid on December 15, 2005, at the age of ninety-one.

On April 5, 2011, he was posthumously granted the distinction of adoptive son of the city of Soria, the city where he spent his last summers and which remained present in the philosopher's memories: «In it one can witness what is happening in Spain and much of the world; and one can foresee what the future might be if one does not renounce what human life inexorably is».

Thought

As a prominent member of the «School of Madrid», a term he helped to establish, he developed many of the themes initiated or hinted at by Ortega y Gasset in his writings or lectures. In the work Introducción a la Filosofía (1947) he presents and systematically develops the principal philosophical themes in the light of the philosophy of vital reason. He holds that the «introduction to Philosophy» has as its mission «the discovery and constitution, in our concrete circumstance, of the sphere of philosophizing (also concrete) demanded by it».

In his scheme, philosophy appears as a human doing and an ingredient of our life. Philosophy is a knowing what to hold to with respect to the real situation. Only in this way can philosophy be a radical doing: «philosophy has the requirement of justifying itself, of not resting on any other certainty, but, on the contrary, of giving an account of reality itself, beneath its interpretations and, therefore, also beneath the presumed certainties that I find». Philosophy is a radical and at the same time systematic and circumstantial knowledge, derived from the radicality, systematicity and circumstantiality of human life.

Among Marías's philosophical contributions, the following stand out:

• The empirical structure of human life. Between the analytical theory of human life and the concrete biographical narration of it there is an intermediate field made up of the elements that do not constitute a priori requirements of life, but which in fact belong to concrete lives.
• His idea of metaphysics. Starting from it as the science of radical reality, Marías maintains that man is not the radical reality, but «a rooted reality that I discover in my life, like the others». The radical reality is rather life, which must be understood as an area in which realities are constituted as such. Hence his theory of human life is not a preparation for metaphysics, but metaphysics itself.
