Abstract

The purpose of the present writing is to investigate what is the relationship between thought and human life, understood as a vital project in Ortega’s philosophy. With this argumentative exercise is wanted, on the one hand, an appropriate delimitation of the significance of the thought and, on the other hand, to set up precisely that the topic of the thought is an element of systematic value that is united to the matter of the problematic value that presents the human life in Ortega’s reflections. This will be reflected in the possible connections that can be established between “Apuntes sobre el pensamiento: su teúrgia y su demiurgia” and the rest of the orteguian corpus. Thus, we will take charge of the topic of the role of thought in Ortega’s philosophical approach.
