Abstract

The present study deepens into the pedagogical concepts of Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) by interconnecting and analyzing his most explicit text on education Mission of the University (1930) with his concept of science. In a first step, the present study explains Ortega's basic arguments in his conference of 1930. A second step analyzes two mayor contributions published within the Biblioteca de las Ideas del Siglo XX, edited by Ortega between 1922 and 1936: Neo-Kantian methodology and Neo-Vitalist conception of subjective biology. A final conclusion summarizes the main characteristics of Ortega's pedagogical concepts, defining not only the limits of innovational potential of his educational ideas but as well offering an explanation for the later instrumentalization during early Francoism.
