el filósofo julián marías y andalucía

Marías estudió Filosofía y Letras en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid antes de ejercer la docencia en varias universidades, entre ellas su alma mater, las de Oxford y Venecia, y el Wellesley College de Massachusetts[4]. En 1997 recibió el título de Rey del Reino de Redonda de manos de su antecesor Jon Wynne-Tyson por su conocimiento del reino y por mencionar la historia de uno de sus anteriores reyes, John Gawsworth, en su novela Todas las almas (1989).
Marías comenzó a escribir en serio a una edad temprana. «Vida y muerte de Marcelino Iturriaga», uno de los relatos de Mientras las mujeres duermen (2010), fue escrito cuando sólo tenía 14 años[8]. Escribió su primera novela, Los dominios del lobo, a los 17 años, tras huir a París. Su segunda novela, Travesía del horizonte, era una historia de aventuras sobre una expedición a la Antártida.
Tras estudiar en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Marías se dedicó a traducir novelas inglesas al español. Sus traducciones incluyen obras de Updike, Hardy, Conrad, Nabokov, Faulkner, Kipling, James, Stevenson, Browne y Shakespeare. En 1979 ganó el premio nacional de traducción por su versión de Tristram Shandy de Sterne. Entre 1983 y 1985 fue profesor de literatura española y traducción en la Universidad de Oxford[9].

marías, julián – in depth (informative edition)

-Following his teacher Ortega and the analytical structure of human life, Marías delves into the personal dimension of man, a subject scarcely studied before by philosophy. Thus begins his studies on the person, one of Marías’ most original contributions.
– La mujer en el siglo XX (1980) In Marías’ anthropology, the sexed character of the person is of great relevance. Hence his interest in the two forms of «being a person», male and female. He was a pioneer in philosophical, cultural and sociological studies on the role of women, through La mujer en el siglo XX and, later, La mujer y su sombra. He maintains that man and woman are related to each other, like the right hand to the left hand, and that they are called to unity.
Sentimental education (1992) The philosopher addresses one of the decisive dimensions of human life, sentimental education, through the history of literature and theater, thanks not only to his anthropological knowledge, but also to his encyclopedic culture, particularly of the Greek and Latin classics, the Golden Age, the generation of ’98 and contemporary narrative.

He was drafted into the Republican Army, where he worked as a translator in the Army. In the final stage of the War he helped the socialist Julián Besteiro, his former university professor, who was at the head of the National Defense Committee.
On May 15, 1939, Marías was imprisoned on a false accusation (by his former friend, Carlos Alonso del Real and Professor Julio Martínez Santa Olalla). The charges were implausible -among others, that he had been a collaborator of the Soviet newspaper Pravda-, but Marías had to spend two and a half months in prison, until in August the case was provisionally dismissed.
But the new regime condemned him to civil death. Thus, in 1942, the doctoral tribunal of the Complutense University of Madrid suspended his thesis on the philosophy of Father Gratry, which Xavier Zubiri had directed. As Marías himself recounts, «the tribunal seemed more like that of a cheka».
Many of the university professors were from the Franco regime or had military or political merits, and in Philosophy the official doctrine was scholasticism, so Ortega and his disciples were considered cursed. This excluded Marías from an academic career, so he had to survive by writing books, translating others and giving lectures.

javier marías interview: let the past be past

So where does this capricious and unacceptable use of the word «nationality» come from? It is simply an Anglicism, one of those that are so popular among those who are not very familiar with the English language. If I am not mistaken, it comes from John Stuart Mill, who in his treatise on Representative Government (1861) used the word nationality in its proper meaning and, moreover, in an imprecise way, as a designation of a community. Mill speaks of feeling of nationality, French nationality, and so on. But he also says, for example, «A portion of mankind may be said to constitute a Nationality if they are united among themselves by common sympathies which do not exist between them and any others, etc.» («A portion of mankind may be said to constitute a Nationality if they are united among themselves by common sympathies which do not exist between them and any others, etcetera.»).
