As if my soul’s salvation depended on it, or the luck of the City: Introduction to the theoretical work of Eugeni d’Ors related to the students’ pension from the Diputació: The process of Creation and Awarding

Abstract

This article is a general introduction to the theoretical work of the philosophical formation of Eugeni D’Ors; that related to the ranting of a scholarship from the Diputació Provincial de Barcelona. It shows the process of creation and awarding starting with a quaint Commission of New Services formed ad hoc to publicize these scholarships. It then reviews the newspaper coverage which was published in parallel, which suggests a more or less direct intervention of d’Ors in the writing of the project writing. Finally, it incorporates a previously unpublished document which shows the importance that Eugeni D’Ors gave to this theoretical production, which is still unpublished and almost completely unknown.

key words: Eugeni d’Ors; Catalan Philosophy; Noucentisme.
