«Defensa de la filosofía» is the philosophical essay by Josef Pieper, published by Herder Editorial in paperback (148 pages, in Spanish).
Josef Pieper argues that philosophy need not be justified by its utility or scientificity, for it is a constitutive question of the human being with meaning in itself. The essay responds to those who consider philosophy a luxury and appeals to Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre and Whitehead.
This edition is the sixth, published on March 10, 1989, with a translation by Alejandro Esteban Lator Ros.
The book will interest general readers with an interest in philosophy and in the question of the ultimate meaning of reality.
