«¿Qué es filosofía?» is the philosophical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Austral in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
It collects the course that Ortega y Gasset taught at the University of Madrid in 1929 and continued in a theatre after classes were suspended for political reasons. In the lessons he analyses what philosophising consists of and proposes a reform of philosophy against idealism and modernity, without falling into irrationalism or relativism.
2012 edition with an introduction by Ignacio Sánchez Cámara; part of the Contemporánea collection, Humanities series, from Austral.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish philosophy and the work of Ortega y Gasset.
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."
