I am a tenured professor of philosophy in the Department of History
of Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Philosophy of Culture at the Universidad
de Barcelona (UB) and a consultant for the Humanities at the Open
University of Catalonia (UOC).
My academic webpage at
offers the possibility of downloading many of my publications.
I have carried out research in Paris - Univ. René Descartes,
Univ. Heidelberg, and Hegel Achiv of the Univ. Ruhr - Bochum. I
am a member of the Seminario de Filosofía Politica of the
UB. Some of my awards include: the Premio Extraordinario de Licenciatura
- Extraordinary Degree Prize (UB), Tercer Premio Final Carrera -
Third Prize for Overall Studies (MEC) and the Prat de la Riba Prize
(IEC).
After many specialised analytical works in the field of modern
philosophy, I have become increasingly interested in macrophilosophy,
that is, the long-term processes in philosophical, epistemological,
sociological, and political fields.
I am investigating the nature and evolution of rationality, especially
from the beginnings of Modernity to the present. Other current interests
are the social and political mechanisms that make modernisation
and postmodernisation possible, in comparative analysis with the
mechanisms that inhibit these dynamics.
My macrophilosophical research requires me to use an interdisciplinary
approach which, while somewhat exasperating, given the impossibility
of covering everything, still fascinates me because it is what is
really necessary.
