About the Ferrater Mora Foundation
The Josep Maria Ferrater Mora Foundation was established shortly after
the death of Ferrater Mora in 1991 precisely to "promote and perpetuate
the writings, films, and thoughts and values espoused in the work of
Josep Maria Ferrater Mora."
This purpose was achieved in part by the establishment of a library,
including his own works as well as an extensive collection of books and
journals, that was given to the Ferrater Mora Chair of Contemporary
Thought at the University of Girona.
Later Ferrater Mora's collection of letters, numbering over 5,000, was
given to the Ferrater Mora Chair, which plans to make them available to
scholars. The index of these letters can be viewed on the web site of
the Ferrater Mora Library.
The Foundation plans at some future date to give the Ferrater Mora Chair
an extensive collection of personal letters. This collection includes,
but is not limited to, letters from Renée Rosalie Petitsigne to Ferrater
Mora and letters from Ferrater Mora to Priscilla Cohn.
The Foundation also has access to the films and photographs that
Ferrater Mora took and a few recordings of him teaching or reading from
his own books. Ferrater also left a large collection of recorded music
and a "library" of video films he recorded or bought.
