Jose 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 (prior to Martin Heidegger’s)[1] and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce.” (Source + full bio: Wikipedia.org)
