Ortega’s Aesthetics: A Dialogue Between Spanish Reality and European Aesthetic Currents

Ortega’s philosophy can be conceived as a permanent dialogue between contemporary European spiritual currents and Spanish reality. The following paper tries to justify this statement in the field of aesthetics. We examine the main intellectual periods of Ortega’s oeavre from his point oåf view, beginning with neo-Kantianism, moving to his encounter with phenomenology and life-philosophies, adding a touch of existentialist thinking, and finally, reaching the balance of a hermeneutical life-philosophy and his books on Velàzquez and Goya.
