Abstract

It is a commentary of José Lasaga's book Figures of the moral life, highlighting that a new paradigm for the treatment of Ortega’s ethics is founded in it, and underlining the fact that Ortega’s philosophy, a metaphysics of the human life, is in itself an ethics treaty, because the human life is moral itself. The interpretation of the figures of a moral life of the so named “a good life”, that Ortega applies, receives in the book a central position.
