Francisco Ferrer wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Francisco Ferrer as Spanish freethinker, anarchist and educator (1859–1909).
Francisco Ferrer was born at Alella in 1859. His recorded nationality is Spain.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
The recorded fields of work are pedagogue.
His principal work is Origin and ideals of the modern school. Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
That the work was done from Spain matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Francisco Ferrer died in 1909, aged 50. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
