Juan José Arbolí y Acaso
Juan José Arbolí y Acaso (1795–1863) was a Spanish priest, writer and essayist. He was bishop of Guadix and Cádiz as well as a professor of philosophy at the San Felipe Neri school; he has a street named after him in Cadiz.[1]
He studied Philosophy and Theology at the seminary Council of San Bartolomé de Cádiz and gained a doctorate in civil and canon law from the University of Seville.[2]
In 1859 Queen Isabel II named him Senator for Life of the Kingdom and preacher of its royal chapel.[2]
In philosophy, he rejected the theories of Étienne Bonnot de Condillac and Antoine Destutt de Tracy, preferring those of Pierre Laromiguière.[3]
