A good and clean copy. - With handwritten dedication by W. Schulz. - Aus dem Text: Considered within the total context of the contemporary-scene, philosophy has retained only marginal significance. This is a fact that can hardly be denied. In the face of this situation two questions pose themselves: firstly, how did the present situation come about? And secondly (and more importantly), what philosophy is there still today? What is it philosophers are doing? Only when these two questions have been answered can we judge the chances philosophy, still has in the present and future. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Though this book deals with a subject more fundamental than that of his previously translated books, Ortega's style here, as always, is richly allusive, witty, and free from technical jargon. Mildred Adams was the translator (into English) of the main body of Ortega's work, including Man and Crisis, What is Philosophy?, Some Lessons in Metaphysics, and An Interpretation of Universal History. José Ortega y Gasset (9 May 1883 - 18 October 1955) was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century, while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism, and dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James, and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce. For Ortega y Gasset, philosophy has a critical duty to lay siege to beliefs in order to promote new ideas and to explain reality. To accomplish such tasks, the philosopher must-as Husserl proposed-leave behind prejudices and previously existing beliefs, and investigate the essential reality of the universe. Ortega y Gasset proposes that philosophy must overcome the limitations of both idealism (in which reality centers around the ego) and ancient-medieval realism (in which reality is outside the subject) to focus on the only truthful reality: "my life"-the life of each individual. He suggests that there is no "me" without things, and things are nothing without me: "I" (human being) cannot be detached from "my circumstance" (world). This led Ortega y Gasset to pronounce his famous maxim "Yo soy yo y mi circunstancia" ("I am I and my circumstance") (Meditaciones del Quijote, 1914) which he always put at the core of his philosophy. Julián Marías Aguilera (17 June 1914 - 15 December 2005) was a Spanish philosopher associated with the Generation of '36 movement. He was a pupil of the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset and member of the Madrid School. In 1948 he co-founded, along with his former teacher José Ortega y Gasset, the Instituto de Humanidades (which he went on to head after the death of Ortega in 1955). Between the late 1940s and the 1970s, being unable to teach in Spain, Marías taught at numerous institutions in the United States, including Harvard University, Yale University, Wellesley College, and UCLA.
