Adela Cortina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adela Cortina is a Spanish philosopher born in Valencia, Spain.
After getting her carrer of philosophy and letters in the University of Valencia, she entered the metaphysics department in 1969. In 1976, she defended her doctorate's thesis, about God in the Kantiana trascendental philosophy, and teaches for a while in middle-grade institutes.
A research grant allowed her to visit the University of Munich frequently, where she came in contact with critical rationalism, pragmatism, Marxist ethics and more concretely, with the philosophy of Jürgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel. Upon reentering academia in Spain, she oriented her research efforts definitively into ethics.
In 1981, she entered the philosophy department of her alma mater, the University of Valencia.
