The various forms of Ortega y Gasset's intellectual work
Abstract
José Ortega y Gasset's intellectual work was very diverse and his modes of action were very different at different times in his life. This article gives a succinct account of them to show how the chair, the newspaper, the political organizations or the publishing companies that he promoted tried to contribute to the same desire to modernize their country. Faced with the bibliography that tries to highlight some of these aspects, here it is shown how all of them were part of Ortega's work, although with different intensity at different times. Ortega represented the function of the contemporary intellectual who with his ideas tried to influence public opinion, but without ever abandoning the philosophical conception of the intellectual as the one who seeks the truth.
