Utjecaj fenomenologijske filozofije na razvoj misli Ortege y Gasseta
Influence of Phenomenological Philosophy on the Thought of José Ortega y Gasset

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this short essay is to elaborate the relationship of E. Husserl’s phenomenology to the philosophy of José Ortega y Gasset. Ortega y Gasset encountered phenomenology very early, in the first decade of the 20th century, during the course of his philosophical studies in Marburg. Neo-Kantian philosophy of his Marburg teachers Cohen and Natorp was inadequate for his own philosophical efforts, so Ortega y Gasset was introduced to the early phenomenological writings of Husserl and Scheler. Since then begins his intense critical engagement with phenomenology. Although often very critical of Husserl, the thesis of this paper is that Husserl was Ortega y Gasset’s permanent philosophical “interlocutor”, and that the Spanish philosopher’s own philosophy (particularly its fundamental concepts) has phenomenological foundations.
