«Necesario pero imposible» is the philosophy essay by Javier Gomá Lanzón, published by Taurus in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
In continuity with «Aquiles en el gineceo», Gomá takes up the philosophical question of hope: whether the modern self, dignified but mortal, could reasonably expect personal continuity beyond death. Against the immortality of the soul, he proposes a deferred mortality and turns to the prophet of Galilee as a precedent of perfect exemplarity.
It belongs to the series «Tetralogía de la ejemplaridad», continuing the approach of «Aquiles en el gineceo».
Aimed at readers interested in philosophy, morality and humanities, as well as those who follow the essayistic work of Javier Gomá Lanzón.
Javier Gomá Lanzón is a Spanish philosopher, writer and essayist, author of the Tetralogía de la ejemplaridad and a theatrical trilogy. He is also the Executive Director of the Juan March Foundation and, since 2024, Director of the Chair of Exemplarity | CUNEF Universidad.
