Abstract
DE NIGRIS, FRANCESCO. J. Ortega y Gasset's Vital Reason and M. Heidegger's Existential Analytic. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2012, vol.61, n.148, pp.115-129. ISSN 0120-0062.
According to Heidegger, being cannot be taken as a blind starting point or belief. Ortega y Gasset's critique of this approach to the problem of being reveals the distance between two perspectives that are, nevertheless, joined by the actual horizon they explore: human life. However, their results are different because the analysis of Dasein aims at discovering the general meaning of being, while Ortega's conception of being as a belief, as a historical interpretation of life linked to a "way of thinking", turns his analysis of vital reason into a personal project of salvation.
