José Ortega y Gasset
Personal Information
Description
José Ortega y Gasset (Madrid, 9 de mayo de 1883-18 de octubre de 1955) fue un filósofo y ensayista español, exponente principal de la teoría del perspectivismo y de la razón vital e histórica, situado en el movimiento del novecentismo. Ejerció una gran influencia en la filosofía española y en la filosofía iberoamericana del siglo XX no solo por la temática de su obra filosófica, sino también por su estilo literario ágil, descrito por algunos como próximo al Quijote, que le permitió llegar fácilmente al público general.

¿Qué es conocimiento?
This book consists of courses given by José Ortega y Gasset from 1929 through 1931. The first course was offered during the academic year 1929-1930, which the editor has assigned the title "Life as Performance (Performative Being)." The second course was a mini-course offered beginning in April 1930, with the title "Concerning Radical Reality." The third course offered for 1930-1931 was entitled "What is Life?" and was split by the editor into two parts, the first having the course title and the second with the title "Glimpses of the History of Philosophy." The Appendix, "Ideas and Beliefs," was first published in 1934.

España invertebrada
"The first three essays...were taken from the volume whose Spanish title, España invertebrada, provided the subject as well as the title for this book. The others were chosen from other volumes of Señor Ortega's work because they shed added light on problems which he indicated in that famous analysis, or because they were pertinent to aspects of the present struggle."--Foreword.
