Abstract

This article aims to prove that Ortega considers finished the current philosophical thinking valid from the 5th century B. C. until the ‘30s in the 20th century. From the Academy and the Lyceum come the idealisms and positivisms of the history of philosophy as well as the lack of communication between genres that have led sciences to lose sight from each other with unfortunate social and political consequences. Within the analysis of sensation or sense-perception as lived experience, as living itself, arises another way of thinking that is the vital reason. Aristotle and Leibniz are the major milestones of this history. The circumstance of the 20th century is the argument that a “mindset” or making use of reason or intelligence in two forms of philosophy (agnos-ticism and materialism) that consume the unilateralism latent in the Academy and the Ly-ceum as well as in the Scholasticism and Modernity, demands to be overcome, and might be in the historical reason.
