THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE WORDS. JULIÁN MARÍAS IN THE REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA

Abstract

This article explains the contribution of Spanish Philosopher Julián Marías (1914-2005), Ortega and Gasset’s disciple, to the Real Academia Española, which has a long history since Foundation, 300 years ago. Marías was an outstanding intellectual in Spain and America and because of that, he was able to improve philosophical Spanish. Especially interesting is when we analyze his ownership to the Royal Academy, his Lecture for the admission act and his Answers for Antonio Colino, Miguel Delibes, Salvador de Madariaga, Manuel de Terán and José Luis Pinillos’ admissions and the homages that he paid to Ramón Menéndez Pidal and Gregorio Marañón.
