Did Zubiri culminate the turn toward personalism of his early philosophy? : reconstruction of a debate (through Gracia, San Baldomero, Corominas and Pintor Ramos)

Abstract

The debate between Gracia, San Baldomero, Corominas and Pintor Ramos on the type of modern, classical, or rather postmodern strategy, as well as the corresponding ethical, metaphysical, or rather post-metaphysical perspective, based on which Zubiri created his philosophy is reconstructed. In any case, this change would have been provoked by the attempt to neutralise the unavoidably paradoxical character of some strictly phenomenological notions of his early philosophy, making the double pragmatic and personalist twist that operated on the way to base his epistemology clear, although in each case he gave them a very distinct meaning.
