Abstract

Our investigations is a attempt to approach the cultural context and the causes, which motivate Ortega´s famous aesthetics and musicals essays “Musicalia” (1921), “Apatía artística”(1921) and La deshumanización del arte (1925). The article concerns therefore the historical “circumstances” of Ortega´s writings, a fundamental item in the study of his philosophical thought.
