Intellectual profile

His research focuses on the areas of logic , the history of philosophy and, in particular, ethics . In Sánchez Cuesta's existential and personalistic humanism, everyday life is at the center of his ethical reflection. It is everyday life in which every person is free to open up an indefinite and constant number of options. It is a unique opportunity not only to achieve a desired goal, but also to develop it virtuously . “Whoever succeeds - writes Agapito Maestre (translated) - in living their daily life virtuously, and this and no other is the therapeutic value of this work, [Note: that of Sánchez Cuesta], he will have succeeded in the carpe diem making the classic come true ”. José Miguel Marinas wrote (translated) about the work La ética de los griegos : “And this is the greatest attraction of an elegant work of simple appearance: it is the text of a free man addressed to adult readers”.
