Eugenio Trias 1942 – 2013
Eugenio Trias (1942 – 2013) was a Spanish philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Continental Philosophy.
Eugenio Trias was a Spanish philosopher, professor at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and the most original Spanish-language metaphysician of the late twentieth century. His sweeping Philosophy of the Limit reframed the entire history of Western metaphysics around the figure of the threshold, in which being is not opposed to non-being but is the very limit at which the world meets what it is not. Trinity, Beauty, and Music in the Twentieth Century extended his thinking to philosophy of religion and aesthetics, while his autobiographical El arbol de la vida narrated the project of his thought through the events of his own life.
