Francisco Giner de los Ríos

Spanish philosopher (1839-1915)

Francisco Giner de los Ríos wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Francisco Giner de los Ríos as Spanish philosopher (1839-1915).

Francisco Giner de los Ríos was born at Ronda in 1839. His recorded nationality is Spain. He studied at University of Barcelona and Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Granada).

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

His academic posts were held at Universidad Central.

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 Giner de los Ríos died in 1915, aged 76. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
