La fenomenología del amor de Ortega

Abstract

espanolEl articulo aborda la fenomenologia del amor en la filosofia de Ortega, especialmente a partir de su obra del periodo maduro Estudios sobre el amor (1939). Para ello, el escrito se organiza en torno a cinco conceptos que segun Ortega describirian una nota esencial a su idea de amor: enamoramiento, entrega, eleccion, amor cortes y perfeccion. Esta recepcion de la fenomenologia del amor de Ortega adquiere una mayor claridad a partir de la consideracion del amor como modo de afectividad propuesta, a su vez, por la fenomenologia de Martin Heidegger. El amor orteguiano, expresion estetica de su filosofia de la razon vital, muestra la preocupacion del pensador espanol por explicar el acontecimiento amoroso a partir de la sintesis entre razon y vida, precisamente en el nucleo de nuestra circunstancia. Esta fenomenologia del amor revelaria, a la postre, al heroe romantico como el unico modo de ser que pudiera contrarrestar el nihilismo al que el espanol hizo frente mediante su filosofia de la vida. EnglishThe article discusses the phenomenology of love in the philosophy of Ortega, especially from his work of the mature period, Studies on Love (1939). Therefore, the writing is organized around five concepts that Ortega would describe an essential note to his idea of love: infatuation, delivery, choice, courtly love, and perfection. This reception of Ortega's phenomenology of love acquires greater clarity from the consideration of love as a mode of affectivity proposed, in turn, by Martin Heidegger's phenomenology. Ortega's Love, an aesthetic expression of his philosophy of vital reason, shows the Spanish thinker's concern to explain the love event from the synthesis between reason and life, precisely at the core of our circumstance. This species of phenomenology of love would reveal, to the end, the romantic hero as the only way of being that it could counteract the nihilism that the Spanish faced through his philosophy of life.
