This June in Madrid, something shifted: students opened their language and literature papers to find a philosopher asking them not to parse syntax or decode ideology, but to consider how they wished to be remembered. Javier Gomá's meditation on personal legacy met young people at the precise threshold where their lives were about to change, and the rare result was not complaint but conversation.
