In 'Meditaciones del Quijote', José Ortega y Gasset explores the essence of Spain through Cervantes' masterpiece. First published in 1914, this essay is the starting point of Ortega's thought, where the depth and Spanish character of the Quixote are analyzed. This edition of Cátedra, with the edition of Julián Marías, invites reflection on national identity and the validity of the Cervantine classic in the context of the 20th century.
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."
