Ortega on liberalism and democracy: revisiting an old discussion

In this paper I address the problem of Ortega’s liberalism. I try to characterize Ortega’s liberal creed considering his well-known statemen, in The Revolt of the Masses, that the 20th century needs a liberalism different from the 19th century one. I argue that some traits of Ortega’s liberalism, namely, Ortega’s concern with social rights, can also be found in some liberal authors of the Weimar Republic. Howev...

La conferencia de Lisboa de Ortega sobre la "idea del teatro" como aplicación d...

This paper examines Portuguese philosopher Delfim Santos’s response to Ortega’s 1946 Lisbon lecture, “Idea of the Theater.” The analysis demonstrates that Delfim Santos misinterpreted Ortega’s objectives, overlooking the fact that Ortega was employing the phenomenological method. Without reference to key concepts originating from Husserl’s Ideas I – such as neutralization, irreality, and fantasy – the meaning o...

Significados subjectivos e valores normativos na teoria da acção humana de Alfr...

Em sua explicação da ação humana, Alfred Schutz recorre principalmente à noção de significado subjetivo de Max Weber e à noção de tipo de Husserl. Para ele, o significado subjetivo parece mais importante para entender a ação humana do que o fato de os atores sociais internalizarem valores normativos. Assim, a validade tem a ver principalmente com projetos de ação, com expectativas cumpridas (ou não cumpridas) e...

In the phenomenological tradition, empathy was often considered the primordial form of relationship with others. According to classical phenomenology, bodily externalizations of inner psychic phenomena play an important role here. In this chapter, we will critically evaluate this approach t...

Intersubjectivity and the project of a phenomenology of the social world

In this paper, I discuss the guidelines of a phenomenology of the social world in the wake of Alfred Schutz and José Ortega y Gasset. While the latter was not, for a long time, acknowledge as a phenomenologist, the former is a well-known critique of Husserl’s theory of intersubjectivity and of the possibility of grounding a community of transcendental Egos. Both, however, remained faithful to some basic phenome...

Subjective meanings and normative values in Alfred Schutz’s philosophy of human...

In his explanation of human action Alfred Schutz resorts mainly to Max Weber’s notion of subjective meaning and Husserl’s notion of type. For him subjective meaning seems more important to understand human action than the fact that social actors internalize normative values. Accordingly, validity has mainly to do with projects of action, with fulfilled (or unfulfilled) expectations and to the stock of knowledge...
