Abstract

This article shows that the idea of culture in Ortega's works is linked with an exemplary proposal of man, which sets up ratlonality as a form of life. The relations between reason and life are herein analysed showíng that the former is unable to restrain the spontaneity of the latter, except by constituting the invaríants that make possible a kínd of life both open and safe, which integrates a contradictory plurality in forms endowed with sense and authentidty.
