As reflected in the title of the seminar, the main objective of the conference was to discuss and debate the relations that Josep Ferrater Mora (1912-1991) established with a series of renowned intellectuals on the international scene and, in particular, in the Hispanic sphere.

Apart from the Director of the Chair -Joan Vergés Gifra-, other participants included professors José Luis Mora (Autonomous University of Madrid), Juan Carlos Conde (University of Salamanca), Dr. Miquel Osset (author of several books on Ferrater Mora’s collection of letters) and Max Pérez Muñoz (who is finishing a thesis on “Ferrater Mora and the history of Catalan thought, 18th-20th century”).

The seminar, therefore, was intended to publicise the research being carried out in the academy on the history of our country based on the history and work of some of its most significant authors. The occasion also served to reflect on democratic memory and on the fact that, after the Civil War, a very important part of the Catalan and Spanish intelligentsia was forced to take the path of exile and to seek support, establish relationships and carry out their work in very difficult times.
