PHI-332 THOUGHT OF ORTEGA Y GASSET
This course is designed to introduce the student to the fundamental elements of 19th and 20th century and Spanish language philosophy and how this was later incorporated into the School of Madrid. It will introduce the analysis of concepts such as phenomenology, Lebenphilosophie, Ortega y Gasset's reaction to Vitalism and Positivism and the metaphysical and epistemological foundations of knowledge. The main focus is to investigate Ortega y Gasset's philosophy and how this is subsequently disseminated throughout the work of Spanish and Latin American thinkers.
