Reason in Vital Experience in Ortega Y Gasset

subject

description

Ortega nourished himself from two intellectual sources, Marburg’s Neo Kantianism and Husserl’s Phenomenology. He confesses his link with Kantianism, when he says that for ten years he lived inside Kantian thought. But his thought evolved through the influence of various philosophical trends from the realm of pure philosophy to others nearer to life. In his search for the roots of reason, he passed from pure reason to an impure (vital and historical) form of reason, which we will name globally “the reason of vital experience” in our context.
