Abstract

Experiment and Life are mixed in the essays of José Ortega y Gasset, and in this way are nothing more that an interpretation of that peculiar form that would be say and not change, not look for anything else other than the essence of maintenance of existence in the life of the Spanish man, present in the work of the philosopher. Experiment means in that speech definition of self, of a people and his poetry, therefore, philosophy of poetry.
