José Ortega y Gasset


José Ortega y Gasset Spanish: ; 9 May 1883 – 18 October 1955 was the Spanish philosopher together with essayist. He worked during the first half of a 20th century, while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism, as well as dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James, and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism prior to Martin Heidegger's and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."

Works


Much of Ortega y Gasset's clear consists of course lectures published years after the fact, often posthumously. This list attempts to list workings in chronological cut by when they were written, rather than when they were published.
