Biography

[edit]

Jesús Arellano Catalán was born in Corella, Navarra (Spain) on December 24, 1921.[1]

In 1943, Arellano obtained his undergraduate degree in philosophy from the University of Madrid, and in that same year he began teaching philosophy courses there. During this time, Arellano wrote his doctoral thesis under the direction of Professor Dr. Juan Zaragüeta on “The concept of participation in the Platonic problem of being”, and obtained his doctoral degree in 1945. In 1946, he became professor of “Fundamentals of Philosophy and History of Philosophical Systems” in the School Philosophy and Letters of the University of Seville (until 1985) and then professor of “Psychology” at the School of Medicine at the same university (until 1968).[2] During his academic years, Arellano directed numerous doctoral theses. He also organized various seminars directed by Hans-Georg Gadamer of the University of Heidelberg on the topic of “German Existential Philosophy and the Present Situation of Philosophy.” [3]

Arellano was close friends with a number of other prominent twentieth century Spanish philosophers, among which were Antonio Millán-Puelles[4] and Leonardo Polo.

Arellano died on January 13, 2009 in Seville, Spain.[5]

Philosophy

[edit]

Arellano's philosophical research led him to develop a theory of love and freedom and a dialogical interpretation of the transcendentals.[6] In the 1970s, his research turned to questions concerning philosophical anthropology. After retirement, he continued research on various philosophical topics such as “The Dialogical of Freedom”, “Existence, vital world, existent. The first moment of the transcendental process”, and “Order, structure, and transcendental process.”
