Book cover Husserl’s Legacy in Phenomenological Philosophies

Part of the book series: Analecta Husserliana ((ANHU,volume 36))

Abstract

In keeping with one of the announced purposes of this Congress (and most likely the main one) of assessing the scope of Husserlian intuitions in present-day phenomenological philosophies, disciplines, and arts, I propose to examine briefly in the following study some points of contact between Husserl and Ortega so as to be able to indicate in general way how the phenomenology of the great German thinker affected the Spanish philosopher.

  14. The limitations acknowledged at the beginning of this study preclude a consideration of Ortega’a links to Husserlian phenomenology in the matter of aesthetic experience. Ortega’s principal ideas are set forth in The Dehumanization of Art and Notes on the Novel (Obras III, 353–419). Prof. N. Orringer argues that Ortega’s aesthetic phenomenology comes not directly from Husserl but indirectly through the work of his disciple Moritz Geiger, particularly his “Beiträge zür Phänomenologie des ästhetischen Genusses,” Jahrburch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung, I, 1913, pp. 567–684. See Orringer, Ortegay sus fuentes germánicas, Nelson Orringer, Ortega y susfuentes germánicas (Madrid: Gredos, 1979), pp. 107–132.
