Philosophy and Politics in the Beginnings Ortega y Gasset's Readings

The first definitions of university knowledge begin to be tested, in Argentina, between the last years of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the next. There, the university philosophy also shapes its borders. In the article, we attend to a specific debate that allows us to recognize part of this scene of discussions. We analyze a reformist periodical, Cordoba. Decenario de critica social y universitaria that it is published in Cordoba in the years immediately following the university reform. There we recognize some of the current debates and concerns about the role of the intellectuals, the functions of the university and the proper categories of philosophy. We consider punctually the reading made of de Ortega y Gasset's contributions and how its contrast with other contemporary interpretations that are the basis for the academic philosophy that is configured then.
