This is a post by Manuel García-Carpintero (University of Barcelona).

Francesc Pereña, a founding member of LOGOS and key contributor to its success, died on February 16 after a long and cruel illness.

Francesc got his PhD at the University of Barcelona in 1987 under the supervision of Emilio Lledó, with a dissertation on Schelling’s views on freedom that he had conceived during a four-year stay in Heidelberg, mentored by H. G. Gadamer. He worked mostly on the philosophy of the 19^th-century German philosophers Fichte and Schelling, and on the phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger.
