Abstract(s)
The purpose of this essay is to present some of José Ortega y Gasset’s most important contributions to the study of affectivity. As indicated in the title, this is not an exhaustive analysis of this subject, but rather to outline some basic notes for a further systematic study, understanding by “systematic” the analysis that allows us to account for the role played by affectivity in Ortega’s philosophical architecture. To this end, the thesis we defend is that, unlike other interpretations, such as that of Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar or Pedro Cerezo, of whom we are concerned in this paper, the Orteguian analyses of affectivity are formulated and legitimized phenomenologically, that is, in the paradigm of the phenomenological philosophy inaugurated by Edmund Husserl. To support this last thesis we will rely, on the one hand, on the studies of Javier San Martín and, on the other hand, on those of Manuel Granell, Ortega’s disciple exiled in Caracas from 1950 onwards.
