Abstract

Perhaps Ortega’s ontological renovation has a pragmatist “character” almost unnoticed until today. Maybe Ortega, who was halfway between the culturalism and the vitalism, the realism and the idealism, the rationalism and the relativism, tried to carry out the same proyect in Europe as the pragmatists in USA: to obtain knowledge of the reality out of the intellectual net in which the dualism as body and spirit, action and theory, ideas and empiricist, subject and object, nature and history, emerge.
