Abstract

The aim of this paper is double: on the one hand, to elucidate Ortega’s idea of University and the concept of culture that is at the basis of his Mission of the University; on the other, to expound the theoretical re-elaboration and application of this idea on the part of Manuel García Morente as regards the reform of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Madrid and (especially) on the part of Jaime Benítez as regards the reform of the University of Puerto Rico.

Author Biography

José Emilio Esteban Enguita, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Autonomous University of Madrid. Both in teaching and research, his work focuses on 19th- and 20th-century philosophy, approached from both a historical and systematic perspective.

He has translated and edited works by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. His publications include Vida, perspectiva y metafísica: Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar y José Ortega y Gasset (Life, Perspective, and Metaphysics: Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar and José Ortega y Gasset) (2012), El pensamiento de Ortega en la mirada de Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar (Ortega's Thought in the Eyes of Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar) (2011), “The Free Spirit, the Mole, and the Psychologist: Figures of Criticism and Genealogy in the Philosophy of the Future” (2009), “Politics of Recognition and Types of Citizenship” (2007), “Notes on the Concept of Culture in The Theme of Our Time” (2007), "Praxis, Power, Freedom.
