I wonder if the English translations of titles are the names of actual published translations or simply ad hoc translations, in which case they should probably be deleted. Thoughts anyone? -- Viajero 04:28, Sep 22, 2003 (UTC)

Okay, it's been a long time since that comment was added. While I've seen problems with ad hoc translations being changed frequently, they're useful to the non-Spanish reader.--Prosfilaes 06:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted someone's editorial discussion from the article. Discussion is appropriately inserted in the Discussion section not in the article itself. LAWinans (talk) 18:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that there are not many references for this article.. Can I help with that?? Also I am doing research on Unamuno and his philosophy, Could we expand that section? Not too much of course because it would throw off the balance of the article. Unamuno was a Philosopher at his core, and he wrote novels, and stories, to express his views. I have three or four books on Unamuno, some are in Spanish. Are we allowed to cite them or can we only cite material that is available on the internet?? I'm a new user but I have been studying WP policies, so I request your forbearance.aharon42 (talk) 18:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miguel de Unamuno was a Roman Catholic believer until he was 22 years old. After that he became a agnostic, which he was for the rest of his life. His major books easily prove his agnosticism, like can be seen by this entry. These quotations from Wikiquote [1] also provide enough evidence for his self-declared agnosticism, that can be corroborated by his classical essay Del Sentimiento Trágico de la Vida and by the general matter of his works.Mistico (talk) 00:23, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The box in the top right-hand corner lists the schools of philosophy with which Unamuno is associated as both positivism and existentialism. How can this be, when these schools of philosophy are polar opposites? Vorbee (talk) 19:18, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In his youth Unamuno was influenced by positivism. He was influenced by Herbert Spencer and indeed translated many of his works into Spanish. He later became an admirer of Kierkegaard and is widely taken as a representative of the Spanish christian existentialist movement. Maybe the article needs to be clearer on this.--J Pratas (talk) 12:31, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Unamuno died while sleeping, which he regarded as the best and most painless way to die." Is this really relevant? Should we add a similar note to any biographic article about people who died in their sleep? Kumagoro-42 (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not keep it. It is interesting to know how people died and in the case of Unamuno ties into his agnosticism, possibly. Mballen (talk) 04:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
