The perspectives of a philosophical traveler. An analysis of Ortega y Gasset's evaluations of Argentina

<p>The present work proposes to analyze some perspectives displayed by Ortega y Gasset during his trips to Argentina. In the first place, from the sociology of intellectuals, we will analyze the role of the Spanish thinker in Argentina, taking into account the links created with central figures in the intellectual field such as Coriolano Alberini, Alejandro Korn and others, as well as the view that these intellectuals have on around Ortega y Gasset. Then, from the history of ideas, as discourse analysis, we will analyze some of his essays, written during and after his travels. The analysis of this material will allow the reconstruction of the philosopher's perspective on Argentina, taking into account the philosophical-political positions present in the representations, metaphors and binarisms with which he conceptualizes his travel experience.</p>
