Abstract
Manuel García Morente fue Decano de la Facultad de
Filosofía de Madrid durante los años de la II República, coincidiendo
con ilustres miembros de la famosa Escuela de Madrid, como Ortega
o Zubiri. Viajero, liberal, ilustrado, perteneció a la hornada de intelectuales
que trató de modernizar el país. Cuando estalló la Guerra
Civil se exilió a París, donde vivió una experiencia mística que le
llevó a la conversión al catolicismo y al sacerdocio. En los últimos
cinco años de su vida, 1937-1942, elaboró una filosofía de la historia
de España que justificaba la contienda, legitimaba al bando
franquista, y delineaba los raíles ideológicos por las que transcurriría
el nacionalcatolicismo en los años venideros.
