Through a lucid and insightful essay, the author explores the tensions between science and philosophy, as well as the cultural and social implications of the emergence of modern science. This edition of Revista de Occidente offers a unique opportunity to delve into the thought of one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century and reflect on the challenges of modernity.
José Ortega y Gasset was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism and 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 and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."
