Abstract

Ortega y Gasset’s relationship with phenomenology encompasses an antagonism of perspectives regarding the repercussion of Spanish philosophy of the twentieth century. Among these forms of conceiving this relation are the conception that Ortega formulated an original philosophy abandoning the phenomenology in the moment of proving it. His most beloved disciple, Julián Marías, passes on that vision. On the other hand, some thinkers, like Javier San Martín Sala, argues that Ortega remained a phenomenologist until the end, despite his own opinion. It occurs when Ortega confronted with Husserl’s work entitled The Crisis of the European Sciences and the Transcendental Phenomenology. Ortega believes that Husserl reformulated phenomenology due to a meeting between them both in 1934. Ortega believes that until that moment phenomenology was a radicalized form of Kantianism for believing that historical reason was lacking in its epistemological context and finally found it in the writings of the so-called last Husserl.
