In 'Necesario pero imposible', Javier Gomá Lanzón explores the question of hope and the possibility of survival after death. Continuing from his work 'Aquiles en el gineceo', the author reflects on how to maintain individuality beyond earthly life, recovering the hope in personal survival that philosophy had abandoned since Kant. Gomá establishes the conditions under which a modern individual could reasonably consider a post-mortem continuity of the human, not as an immortality of the soul, but as an extension of mortality. The author draws on the example of the prophet of Galilee as a model of perfect exemplarity.
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.
