La filosofía de José Ortega y Gasset está marcada por una clara voluntad de estilo, que es personalísima y creativa. Este modo de pensar la filosofía vinculado a su desarrollo estético y retórico se muestra en las diferentes figuras literarias a las que recurría constantemente, como las metáforas o las etimologías.
