Julián Marías and Miguel de Unamuno on Christian Salvation and the Call for Personal Immortality

This chapter contrasts Julián Marías’s and Miguel de Unamuno’s positions with regard to Christian Salvation and the call for personal immortality. It is argued that although they should be considered as two distinct and independent philosophical positions, Marías’s argumentation for justifying my (each one’s) conscious hope for Christian Salvation through Resurrection bears some notable resemblances to Unamuno’s reasoning in defence of his own notion of Christian religious faith that are relevant enough to make it reasonable to conclude that Marías formulated his argumentation in dialogue with Unamuno’s position.
