With Daniel we always end up laughing. Being a philosopher, it's a remarkable quality. I tell him, while I'm shooting, that in each photo I'm stealing small pieces of his soul, and he reminds me that the soul is indivisible.

Daniel Gamper is director of the Philosophy Department and professor of moral and political philosophy at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He has concentrated his research in the field of political philosophy, specifically in theories of democracy, politics and religion. He has published numerous articles on the role of religions in democratic societies, the limits of liberalism and the concept of tolerance. He has translated works by authors such as Nietzsche, Scheler and Habermas and regularly contributes to the written press, such as the magazine Metròpolis and the newspapers ARA and La Vanguardia. His latest work, Las mejores palabras, has been awarded the Anagrama Essay Prize 2019.
