Ortega and “Don Quixote”. The First Notes

  • Helio Carpintero
Keywords: Ortega, Cervantes, Herbart, Don Quixote

Abstract

This article analyzes Ortega-y-Gasset’s early ideas on Cervantes and his Don Quixote, as they appear in some of his letters to Unamuno and Navarro Ledesma, as well as in a posthumously published article. All these docu- ments belong to his stay in Germany, in the firs decade of the 20th century. According Ortega, Cervantes would have considered imagination as the way man organizes objetive data into a conscious world; in doing so, he could largely rely on previous philosophical views suggested by German philosopher J.F. Herbart, whose philosophy was deeply studied by Ortega in 1914.
