"In accordance with the thought of philosophical realism, I am convinced that truth in philosophy is not given, even less so in what refers to the theoretical thematization of the personal being. It is urgent, therefore, to take on the ever-perennial task of inquiring into the truth of the human being as part of the cosmos and at the same time open to transcendence."
I received my first philosophical formation at the University of Navarra. Those years gave me the opportunity to discover philosophical research as a rigorous gnoseological approach to physical reality and the human being, with infinite possibilities. Among all the philosophical schools and methods that were proposed to us, from the beginning realism caught my attention, for being the philosophical approach in which real being is more clearly prioritized over consciousness, in the sense that it does not ground being in consciousness. Likewise, during these years, I was able to realize and delve into the importance of resolving the approach to reality from a metaphysics founded on first principles and the consideration of being in its different senses, and a theory of knowledge in which it is possible to overcome the concept and access the apprehension of being, since only such an approach allows to refer reality to Being by essence; thus giving the most complete answer to the inquiry of metaphysics.
In my last year as a university student, I had the privilege of having Professor Dr. Angel Luis Gonzalez, Professor of Metaphysics, as my professor of Natural Theology, who later agreed to direct my doctoral thesis at the University of Navarra. From his hand, I embarked on the study of one of the nuclear themes in Natural Theology, creation, taking as a guide the philosophical approach that Thomas Aquinas carried out on it. Working on the metaphysics of creation has allowed me to delve into the fundamental problems of metaphysics, trying to respond to the objections that modernity and postmodernity have raised from their consideration of the human being and reality. In this sense, in addition to the work of St. Thomas, I have found of special interest and help for my research, the readings that authors such as Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Leibniz, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger; and other important authors of the contemporary debate such as Fabro, Wippel, Geiger, Polo, Llano, Iniciarte, etc. have made of the reality of the finite being, in its most metaphysical understanding.
As a fruit of this research in which I am still involved, I can highlight the publication in 2014 of my articles "La novedad del ser por participación", in J. A. García González (ed.). Escritos en memoria de Leonardo Polo. I: Ser y conocer, Cuadernos de Pensamiento Español; and in 2020, "Ser y nada. Consideraciones metafísicas en torno a la noción tomista de 'positio extra nihilum'", in Red de Investigaciones Filosóficas SCIO.
