The human being and tradition from the philosophical perspective of Xavier Zubiri

Abstract

This study explores the conception of tradition in Xavier Zubiri’s philosophy, highlighting its role in the construction of human identity. It analyzes how history and cultural transmission not only preserve knowledge, but also allow each generation to reinterpret its own reality. A distinction is made between tradition as passive preservation and tradition as active delivery of possibilities, highlighting its impact on the education and development of the individual.
