Koncepcja racjowitalizmu w ujęciu José Ortegi y Gasseta
The conception of ratiovitalism in the perspective of José Ortega y Gasset

Summary/Abstract: The conception of life as a radical and fundamental reality, which constituted the basis for the conception of ratiovitalism, is a late and mature philosophical reflection by José Ortega y Gasset. Its source is a critical attitude and willingness to overcome both vitalism and rationalism in their pure shape and form. However, one should remember that the notion of “overcoming” in this case ought not to be identified with a total rejection. Though, it is the familiarization and adaptation of thoughts of these two extremely different standpoints that can lead beyond their scope and freedom from restrictions they bring with them. To talk about a ratiovital perspective, one should, according to Gasset, begin his/her reflection from a thorough and critical analysis of the two points of view to, subsequently, make a synthesis of the important things and overcome their linearity and limitlessness.
