«Estudios sobre el amor» is the philosophical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Editorial Edaf in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
Ortega y Gasset examines love as a vital attitude that defines character and personal project. Against blind love, he presents it as an impulse of clarity and fidelity to oneself and to things, according to the Platonic definition of love as the desire to engender beauty and aspiration to the fullness of being; he links the sentimental, the ethical and the aesthetic.
Volume 205 of the Biblioteca Edaf collection. This edition includes a study and a chronology by José Luis Molinuevo. The work was originally published in Buenos Aires in 1939.
Aimed at the general public and those who want to begin in Ortega y Gasset's philosophy, since his essays do not require prior philosophical training.
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."
