Domènech and Europe

Academic cycle, March 16 and 17, 2023.

This cycle of conferences with specialized speakers of international scope represents the approach to the most relevant quality of Domènech i Montaner: disciplinary transversality. This manifestation of multiple interests has very defined areas, such as History, Architecture or Politics, but also others that make up the philosophical fabric from which he develops his thinking: the evolution from optimism young to the most decanted pessimism, a vital reflection that fills his life, driven by the tool that European society of the 19th places at the forefront of intellectual discussion: Eclecticism, which combines concepts of Classicism and Baroque.
