Ideas and beliefs in Ortega's concept of historical knowledge
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The article describes Ortega and Gasset’s evolution towards a mature conception of history with the distinction of Ideas and Beliefs. Basically, it works on the contrast between an early work of Ortega, Meditaciones del Quijote and En torno a Galileo which reflects Ortega’s definitive position. Though Ortega was always interested in history, it is only in his mature work that he felt that he had found the way to understand conceptual change as such. The explanation of Ortega’s evolution in this field is related not only to his interest in the politics -national and international- of his day, but is also connected to his understanding of life as a metaphysical principle.
