Roque Ferriols
Filipino philosopher and Jesuit (–)
Rev. Fr. Roque J. Ferriols, S.J., full name Roque Angel Jamias Ferriols, (August 16, – August 15, ) was a Filipino Jesuit priest and philosopher known for pioneering the use of Tagalog in philosophizing.[1][2][3][4]
Ferriols' efforts are intimately linked to the broader Filipinization movement of the late s to s, a period marked by a shift toward the indigenization of knowledge production.[3] His body of work is also influential to the development of phenomenological thought in the Philippines, in particular, in its interest in philosophizing lived experience.[2][5]
A classicist, having been brought up in the Græco-Roman tradition, Ferriols is also noted for his translations in Filipino from the original Greek, of selected texts from the Pre-Socratics to Aristotle, compiled in his Mga Sinaunang Griyego (The Ancient Greeks).[2][6]
