PEDRO LAIN ENTRALGOS PHILOSOPY FORM SPAIN PERSPECTIVE

The author tries to present personalistic philosopy of Spanish scientist and thinker Pedro Lain Entralgo in the fifth anniversary of his death. His investigations concern the material included in Lain's philosophical books - from 'La espera y la esperanza' (1957) to 'Que es le hombre. Evolucion y sentido de la vida' ( 1998) - and the most important remarks of his Spanish critics. He divides the creation of Pedro Lain Entralgo into two periods. The first one is related with neothomistic thought that are presented in books form 50's, 60's and 70's. He examines the antropology of hope proposed first of all in 'La espera y la esperanza' and the problem of another man analysed in two volumenes of 'Teoria y realidad del otro'. The second period's monistic philosophy is based on the thought of Xavier Zubiri - maestro of Latin - and courageous attempts of employing results of particular sciences. The author's main purpose was the most possibly exhaustive presentation of achivements of Spanish philosopher and calling the attention to consequences of that manner of philosophical thinking.
