Antonio Millán-Puelles was born at Alcalá de los Gazules in 1921. His recorded nationality is Spain. He studied at Complutense University of Madrid.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
The honours record reads: Grand Cross of the Order of Civil Merit (1968) and Grand Cross of the Civil Order of Alfonso X the Wise (2001).
