Mª José Franquet, "Semblanza
bio-bibliográfica" (pp. 15-25) A biographical sketch of the Spanish
philosopher Leonardo Polo which in-cludes an outline of the central
interests of philosophical work, centring on his contribution to the
history of philosophy.
Juan Cruz, "Filosofar hoy. Entrevista con Leonardo Polo" (pp.
27-51) Leonardo Polo answers the following questions posed to him by the
editor of the Anuario Filosófico: 1) What is the present state of
philosophy? 2) What kind of philosophy can be cultivated nowadays? 3) How
does one philosophize?
Ignacio Falgueras, "Los planteamientos radicales de la Filosofía de
Leonardo Polo" (pp. 55-99) The purpose of this paper is to make
clear the basic set up of Leonardo Polo's philosophy. It can be summarized
in the transcen-dental character of the act of human understanding and the
detection of mental limit with the inmediate consequences which both have
for the new posing of philo-sophizing.
Ricardo Yepes, "Leonardo Polo y la Historia de la Filosofía"
(pp. 101-124) Leonardo Polo proposes a new interpretation of the history
of philosophy, based on three remarkable periods: Athens, with Aristotle;
Paris, With Thomas Aquinas; and Berlin, with Hegel. Taking advantage of
the study of these three great thinkers, he has built the main outlines of
his own philo-sophy, particularly his transcendental anthropology,
amplifying remar-kably the transcendentals of classic philosphy. It also
contains a new and very seminal interpretation of man. Finally, it
supplies a reorientation of modern philosophy as a whole.

Juan García-González, "Un nuevo planteamiento
del saber: la Metafísica" (pp. 125-143) This work deals with the
priority of being in the philosophy of L. Polo. Especially, his first
position with regard to human knowledge, and his primacy regarding the
temporal sucession.
Héctor Esquer, "Actualidad y acto" (pp. 145-163) Polo's notion
of act of being is based on the equivalence between the notio of act and
that of a first principle. A study of the central axioms of metaphy-sics
compared with principles of identity and non-contradiction is also
in-cluded.
Mª Antonia Labrada, "Crecimiento intelectual o clausura: el reto de
la libertad radical" (pp. 165-181) Prof. Polo's theory of knowledge
leads to a transcendental anthropology. Man's freedom is exemplified in
his nous or agent intellect which makes him capable of developing the
intellectual virtues. Thus, he leaves behind the "mental presence" taken
to be the limit of objective knowledge.
Jorge Mario Posada, "Una física de causas" (pp. 183-202) Is
there any way out -aside from the possibilities offered by skeptical and
utilitarist thinking- to the problems which face modern science? Polo
be-lieves that first it would be necessary to explain the reasons which
pro-voke change in scientific models: why are the paradigms, and the views
of reality which they propose, substitutable?

Miquel Bastons, "La teoría del movimiento.
Análisis de actividades y procesos" (pp. 205-216) This article offers
an analysis of motion focused not so much on the mobile thing as on
movement itself. Movement may be represented as an "actualization
function". A definition of time and space is proposed from the viupoint of
movement.
Salvador Rus, "La filosofía jurídica de Leonardo Polo" (pp.
217-226) In this article the author writes about Leonardo Polo's juridical
thought. He studied in School of Law before he began to work on
philosophy. In the paper the author expresses some of Leonardo Polo's
ideas on law: a) What is the definition of law?; b) Is a person's
posession of a thing the fundation of his rights? c) The practical
function of law in society.
