On the legacy of Ortega y Gasset

In a critical note to the publication of the Czech collection of texts Padesat let od smrti Jose Ortegy y Gasseta (Fifty years since the death of Jose Ortega y Gasset, Prague, 2006), the author draws our attention above all to the expressions of a repeated distortion of Ortega's perspectivism, and to the unjustified attempt to present the Spanish philosopher as the direct precursor of extreme neo-conservative liberalism.
