Perhaps there is no better way to understand a writer like Rafael Argullol, who from his earliest works conceives thinking as an adventure and existence as a journey, than listening to those who have crossed his path throughout his life and have shared a journey with him. Josep Lluis Mateo has participated in this tribute book to his career, which bears witness to the mark he has left on colleagues, friends and readers from different generations and parts of the world.

Rafael Argullol is a Spanish writer, philosopher, and professor born in Barcelona in 1949. Known for his prolific and diverse body of work, he has authored numerous essays, novels, and poetry collections that explore themes such as aesthetics, philosophy, art, and human experience. His writing often reflects a deep engagement with classical culture, modern thought, and the interplay between reason and imagination.
