"The present study is the product of ten years of research and
writing, including consultation of Ortega's unpublished class
notes and uncompleted articles and book projects collected in the
Fundación Ortega y Gasset of Madrid, Spain. By coordinating
his own original investigations with those of the many senior
scholars who have worked on Ortega, Graham does what may be the most
complete job yet of tracing Ortega's intellectual debts, innovations, and
overall development during the first half of the 20th century. This
exciting, suggestive book will be useful to anyone interested in Western
philosophy between 1860 and 1955."--Choice
"Graham combines an historical-biographical account of the life and
time or Ortega with chapters of analytic penetration into his thought.
. . . The bibliographical material is both excellent and even overwhelming.
Every university library should possess this book, as well as all
students of modern philosophical thought. . . . A splendidly
conceived and admirably executed book."--University
Bookman
"Graham opens up new angles of vision not only on Ortega's
ideas but on twentieth-century thought in general. Not more
than a handful of scholars writing today are as familiar as
Graham with the many subtle shifts and changes in Ortega's
oeuvre over a half-century of writing."--American Historical
Review
