About Fernando Gil

The philosophical works of Fernando Gil (Muecate, 1937 - Paris, 2006) embrace a diversity of fields, ranging from epistemology to esthetics, from moral philosophy to politics. It is however notable that whatever field he worked in, he always did it from the perspective of philosophy perceived as a whole, i.e., from the conviction that each specific knowledge refers to all the others and somehow presumes them.
