Adela Cortina is a Spanish philosopher born in Valencia, Spain.
After getting her degree of philosophy and letters in the University of Valencia, she entered the metaphysics department in 1969. In 1976, she defended her doctorate's thesis, about God in the Kantian trascendental philosophy, and taught for some time in middle-grade institutes.
A research grant allowed her to visit the University of Munich, where she came in contact with critical rationalism, pragmatism, Marxist ethics and more specifically, with the philosophy of Jürgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel. Upon reentering academia in Spain, she oriented her research efforts into ethics.
In 1981, she entered the philosophy department of her alma mater, the University of Valencia.
