[3] Ferrater Mora was known for his inclusion of humans and non-human animals within the same moral sphere, or continuum, arguing that the difference was one of degree, not kind.

[4] In 1949, Ferrater Mora was hired by Bryn Mawr College to teach philosophy and Spanish literature, where he worked till his retirement, in 1981.

[6] Ferrater Mora is the creator of a philosophical method he called integrationism, with which he sought to integrate opposite systems of thought.

[9] His works combine a wide variety of influences, including the Spanish philosophers Miguel de Unamuno, Eugenio d'Ors and José Ortega y Gasset and numerous other representatives of both continental and analytic philosophy.

[citation needed] In January 1991, Ferrater Mora made public the decision to donate his personal library to the University of Girona.
