He is also the author of several books recognized in this field, which shape his philosophical proposal; it is remarkable The intimate resistance (2015), which won the Ciutat de Barcelona Prize and also the National Essay Prize of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.

Josep Maria Esquirol has drawn up his own philosophical proposal, which he designates as a “philosophy of proximity”.

Also, it remains in constant dialogue with contemporary thought, while it is expressed in a language very close to the experience.

The works that build this philosophical approach have received several awards, and some of them are also being published in Italian, Portuguese, English and German.

One year later, in 2016, Josep Maria Esquirol won the Spanish National Essay Prize, also for his work The intimate resistance.
