Leonardo Coimbra, the greatest Portuguese philosopher of the first half of the 20th century, presents in the pages of this book, which is essentially a biography, an historiography of philosophical ideas, and a hermeneutic that endorses the centrality of the text as a conductor and configurator of interpretations. With a well-grounded vision of the philosopher's speculative path, addressing diverse themes such as creationism, ethics, the religious question, the First World War, Buddhism, and education, and dedicating itself to the relationships with, among others, Teixeira de Pascoaes, Delfim Santos, José Marinho, António Sérgio, and Ortega y Gasset, Leonardo Coimbra: Life and Philosophy constitutes an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to know and deepen the life and work of the Master from Oporto in the historical context that was his and in the projection of his thought through the next generations.
