In 'Studies on Love', José Ortega y Gasset explores love as a constant and multifaceted theme of reflection. The author considers love as the means through which the human being opens up to the world, developing his reflections in various areas such as philosophy, the science of values, the theory of feelings, and the history of love. This edition compiles texts originally published in the newspaper 'El Sol' of Madrid and in 'La Nación' of Buenos Aires between 1926 and 1927, offering a complete and enriching vision of Ortega's thought on the erotic theme throughout his work.
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."
