  José Ortega y Gasset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Ortega proposes that philosophy must, as Hegel proposed, overcome both the lack of idealism (in which reality gravitated around the ego) and ancient-medieval realism (which is for him an undeveloped point of view in which the subject is located outside the world) in order to focus in the only truthful reality (i.e.
For Ortega, as for Husserl, the Cartesian 'cogito ergo sum' is insufficient to explain reality—therefore the Spanish philosopher proposes a system where life is the sum of the ego and circumstance.
Ortega y Gassett was extremely influential on existentialism, especially the work of Martin Heidegger, as he was at pains to point out.

 Ortega y Gasset, José
Ortega was educated in German universities, and he viewed his lifelong mission as that of neutralizing a centuries-old archconservative national identity and of educating Spaniards for the European adventure.
Ortega's interest in literature, which initially embraced literary criticism per se but more characteristically cultivated a philosophical aesthetics, was always part and parcel of this larger, more ambitious project.
It is a provocative and bittersweet investigation of the philosophical essence of theater, and by extension of all literature, one that seeks to isolate and examine the "being" of this genre, that is, the latent structure that endures beneath the genre's concrete and changing manifestations.

 Ortega y Gasset's "Revolt of the Masses" (1930)
The Spanish essayist and philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), was born in Madrid of a patrician family.
Ortega led the republican intellectual opposition under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1936), and he played a role in the overthrow of King Alfonso XIII in 1931.
A prolific writer, Ortega was the head of the most productive school of thinkers Spain had known for more than three centuries and helped place philosophy beyond the reach of a centuries-old reproach that it was somehow un-Spanish, and therefore dangerous.

 L'Encyclopédie de L'Agora: José Ortega y Gasset
Ortega y Gasset est présent dans le monde germanique, dans le monde anglophone et, bien entendu, dans le monde hispanique.
Ortega partage avec cette génération la douleur et l'amertume liées à ce qu'il considère comme la prostration espagnole; avec cette génération, il tente de diagnostiquer, il cherche à percevoir le pourquoi de ce qui se passe dans la culture, l'éducation, la politique et la science espagnoles.
Ortega découvre peu à peu qu'un tel individu est une abstraction et que le rationalisme - une forme de l'idéalisme – a oublié l'homme réel et concret qui vit dans une situation réelle et concrète.

 BrothersJudd.com - Review of Jose Ortega y Gasset's The Revolt of the Masses
Ortega y Gasset's critique of the system proceeds not from the fear that it will necessarily fail in economic terms but from the observation that it is a system that was created by the cultural elite of Western Civilization, which it was increasingly falling to the undifferentiated masses to maintain :
In what Ortega y Gasset refers to as hyperdemocracy, but which is now nearly the only form of democracy we recognize as such, it is taken for granted that the people, all of the people, should have a say in every action of government.
If we can take some comfort in the fact that--though men like Ortega y Gasset were not listened to at the time when their criticisms of mass democracy might have saved the West almost a century of anguish--the conservative critique was vindicated by events and revived (by folks like Russell Kirk, William F.

Es así como un estudio masculino y global sobre la tradición intelectual misógina, podría contribuir a los estudios de género (“Gender Studies”), y ayudar a esclarecer la dinámica e irregularidades de la comunicación entre sexos.
Ambos Ortega (con satisfacción) y Vicens (con resignación) desoyeron todo argumento de igualdad sexual, y mostraron así una misma realidad social que apunta a la incomprensión entre sexos.
Para Ortega, las relaciones sociales son en su mayoría usos convencionales y mecánicos, impersonales, que convierten al hombre en autómata y a la sociedad en un ente deshumanizado.

Continuas vicisitudes y jornadas épicas marcan a fuego la estatura íntima de nuestro sensible y crítico autor, en una historia que lo impulsa a oponerse con toda su fuerza al abuso institucionalizado de los indios, en cuya lengua y cultura va zambulléndose con apasionada y virtuosa entrega.

El conocimiento es cada vez más una posesión comunitaria y anónima, al menos en la medida en que en estos momentos resulta imposible proteger los derechos de la propiedad intelectual más allá del reconocimiento social que puede suponer la valoración de una aportación particular al acervo presente en la comunidad.
Junto con ello, las pequeñas y minuciosas aportaciones de diversos investigadores, que tomadas individualmente podrían tal vez despreciarse y no influir en el avance de la comprensión de un filósofo, pueden por este medio ordenarse, y por el conjunto que forman ser de gran interés para aquella tarea.
