Abstract

Ortega summarized his metaphysics with the formula: “I am I and my circumstances.” But he does not write just about that circumstance: its nature and possible aspects. He focuses only on the reaction of the person: he turns his metaphysics in an ethic that relies on the forces the person to develop his project in any environment. Miguel Delibes published Aun es de dia in 1949 (in the Spanish postwar). The novel can be read as a reply to this ethic of illusion: Its protagonist is unable to develop the program he wants for its life because its circumstance is very hostile. The plot works as an ethical approach that recalculates the possibilities of the person to develop himself in an adverse environment.
