A presentation of the main concepts, works and authors of the Spanish Universalist School, the most fundamental Spanish and Hispanic contribution, recently reconstructed, to the European Enlightenment.

Introduction to the Spanish Universalist School presents the most significant authors, works, and concepts of a distinctive humanistic and scientific intellectual community, one mostly comprised of ex-Jesuits exiled to Italy at the end of the eighteenth century. The study of this corner of the Hispanic Enlightenment, marked especially by the work of Juan Andrés, Lorenzo Hervás, and Antonio Eximeno, offers contributions to the history of European sciences and letters, to the history of ideas, and to the concepts of universality and globalization.

Pedro Aullón de Haro is Professor of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature at the University of Alicante. He is the author of many monographs in different languages on subjects such as aesthetics, comparatism, literary criticism, and the history of ideas. Davide Mombelli is Associate Professor at the University of Alicante. He has translated into Spanish and edited several works by Juan Andrés. His research interests include globalization, the history of ideas, aesthetics, comparatism, and Italian philology.
