What did I study
I graduated from University of Salamanca with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Education in 1996. This very year I received the Spanish National Award of Completion of Studies, an award that honored me as one of the three Spanish students with a best academic performance in Philosophy by the time of completion of my undergraduate period. During my last year as an undergraduate, I enjoyed a senior’s scholarship by the Basque Government
I did my graduate studies at the University of Salamanca as well, thanks to a doctoral scholarship of that university (1997-2001) and a grant awarded by the Foundation Caja Madrid (2001). In those years I received a MPhil degree in Philosophy, Logic and Philosophy of Science (June 2000) and another MPhil degree in History and Philosophy of Law and Moral and Political Philosophy (September 2000)
I also became a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Salamanca in 2002, and I was awarded the Extraordinary Doctorate Award of that year with my thesis Normativity, interpretation and praxis: Wittgenstein in a hermeneutical-nihilistic turn
