La actualidad del pensamiento de Ortega y Gasset. ¿Qué nos cabe reivindicar?
On topicality of the philosophical thought of José Ortega y Gasset

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to provide explanation as to why José Ortega is still relevant for the current philosophical thought. It begins with exploration of what he claims to be a central element of the modern world: the construction of own identity according to individual criteria. In opinion of Ortega, this personal undertaking constitutes a pivotal component of the European culture, and therefore must be defended at all costs. This idea, when translated into a theory of knowledge, results in the emergence of perspectivism that serves to legitimize liberal democracy.
