Juan José Arbolí y Acaso

Juan José Arbolí y Acaso (1795–1863) was a Spanish priest, writer and essayist. He was bishop of Guadix and Cádiz as well as a professor of philosophy at the San Felipe Neri school; he has a street named after him in Cadiz.

He studied Philosophy and Theology at the seminary Council of San Bartolomé de Cádiz and gained a doctorate in civil and canon law from the University of Seville.

In 1859 Queen Isabel II named him Senator for Life of the Kingdom and preacher of its royal chapel.

In philosophy, he rejected the theories of Étienne Bonnot de Condillac and Antoine Destutt de Tracy, preferring those of Pierre Laromiguière.
