Abstract

This article aims to give an account of a fundamental reflection on the Ortega y Gasset’s philosophy. Parting from critics from the modern point of view and represented, in this case by Husserl, Ortega states his idea of human life as a radical reality.


The analysis of the 'presence' of life entails the problem of the correlation human being-world as it questions how the self develops in the circumstance. Ortega’s answers to this question from the notion of 'belief', which is analyzed here as a central point for getting to the fundamental theme: the phenomenology of the social world, which is framed in concepts such as 'use' and 'validity'. Thus, this work wants to give an account of a phenomenological path parting from the concrete, from the 'presence' of life and up to the existence of society as a fundamental circumstance
of all human life.
