In the second part she discusses the concept of Ortega’s philosophy, sociology and ratiovitalism. In the last part the authoress describes the influence of the Ortega at later times. Ortega’s legacy is assessed by Polish authors in different ways. He is even accused of lack of integrity, lack of consistency in the use of terms or lack of originality. Similarly, we can come across a variety of opinions when we consider his topicality. However, in addition to the impressive achievements we cannot be indifferent. We can find here the analysis and the specific interpretation of the world, human being, society and culture. Ortega pointed out both the sources of the crisis of culture in which he lived, but also the remedies. Without a doubt, an astute observer of reality became a teacher of many generations of intellectuals, not only in Spain, but all over the world.
