Ortega y Gasset’s bio-ecology

In this article we will try to reflect, with Spanish Philosopher Ortega y Gasset´s help, about the possibility of a bio-ecology that problematises some of the approaches and assumptions typically assumed in ecology. After showing that orteguian philosophy is a radical ecological philosophy — and a pioneer in that aspect—, we will show how vital reason´s categories perfectly harmonise with some of the most recent biological research that demand thinking organism and environment in closer connection.
