29 分钟Hey, thanks so much for listening to the podcast.
Cool that you're enjoying it so far.
Full transcripts of every episode at philosophisethis.org.
And to support a show like this, go to patreon.com slash philosophisethis.
Could never do this without your help.
Thank you.
So before we begin,
there's a few things you've got to know about the philosopher we're going to be covering today who goes by the name of Jose Ortega Igasset,
who from here on out, by the way, I'm just going to be referring to as Ortega.
You know, as a card-carrying citizen of the United States,
I am spiritually obligated over here to abbreviate practically everything in existence.
You all know this.
We save time over here with abbreviations so that we can argue with each other more.
So Ortega by no means gets a free pass there.
A few things you've got to know about the guy.
Some people refer to him as an existentialist philosopher,
but that would only describe a portion of the work that the guy did throughout his career.
Some people call him a phenomenologist, but that would be equally misleading.
I mean, in his words, he abandoned phenomenology as an exclusive approach to philosophy,
almost the instant that he understood it.
