Abstract

Some intellectual attitudes and views of Professor Artigas

Mariano Artigas (1938–2006) is one of the authors that has significantly contributed to the philosophical study of nature and the philosophy of science in the 20th century. He initiated, in addition, some interdisciplinary studies about the relations between science and religion making him a pioneer in this intellectual debate in Spain. His contributions in this field began to be studied while he was alive and has continued to generate interest after his death. A less considered aspect of his thoughts is his teaching and investigative style full of educative value. Over and beyond his writings, and also through them, his teaching task has had significant impact on the intellectual formation of a good number of professionals who are currently dedicated to exploring the wealth of scientific knowledge in its epistemological and humanistic openness. This work considers some attitudes and intellectual approaches of Professor Artigas which have led many scholars, especially scientific ones, to deepen the value of science and its relation with other dimensions of knowledge and human life.
