Almirall, Valentí
"Lo catalanisme: Motius que'l llegitiman. Fonaments cientifichs y solucions..." by Valentí Almirall is a political treatise published in 1886. After breaking with Spanish federalism, Almirall articulates a doctrine of Catalan particularism—not independence—contrasting Catalan and Castilian character while arguing for regional decentralization. He positions the Catalan language as the foundation of unity and envisions Catalunya as Spain's engine of progress. Though initially marginalized, the work was later recognized as a foundational text of Catalan political thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
