Professor of Civil Law, Spanish lawyer and politician. He was born in Montefr\u00edo<\/a>. His father and brother were also professors of civil law in Granada. He was a friend of Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, somewhat younger than him. He belonged to the group of El Rinconcillo at the Caf\u00e9 Alameda<\/a>. He was one of the university students of the group. Federico dedicated one of his gypsy romances, Thamar and Amnon<\/em> to him. After the arrival of Falla<\/a> to the city, he joined the group of the excursionists, along with the musician Antonio Segura Soriano and Manuel Torres L\u00f3pez, among others.<\/p>\n

In 1927, he was awarded the Chair of Civil Law at the University of Salamanca and that of Granada in 1931. He was a disciple of Ortega y Gasset<\/a> and together with him and other professors in 1929 resigned his professorship during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera in protest against the police raid on the University and the capture of students of the University Federation of School Students (FUE). In 1931, he was elected deputy in the Republican Parliament in Granada. He was part of the commission that drafted the Constitution of 1931. In 1932, he created the Spanish Front with Jos\u00e9 Antonio Maravall and Maria Zambrano, among others. Later he was part of the Spanish Syndicalist Movement.<\/p>\n

In 1933, he returned to Germany where he was a disciple of Husserl and Heidegger in Freiburg. In March 1933, he began to collaborate with Jos\u00e9 Antonio Primo de Rivera. He participated in the founding act of the Spanish Falangist party on October 29, 1933 at the Teatro de la Comedia in Madrid. It seems that he was the one who chose the name Falange. He ran in the elections of November of that year for the Bloque de Derechas party as a candidate in Granada, but a few days beforehand, he was replaced in the candidacy by Ram\u00f3n Ruiz Alonso<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The beginning of the Civil War surprises him in Freiburg. He returns to Spain and joins the national side and in 1938 he is appointed Undersecretary of Education. That year he interceded from Vitoria, where he had his office, for the return of the post of Professor of Drawing at the Teacher Training College in Granada to Hermenegildo Lanz. In 1944, he was removed from all political posts because of his adherence to the cause of Juan de Borb\u00f3n. From 1940 he held a chair at the University of Madrid.<\/p>\n
