description: José Ortega y Gasset distinguishes himself in twentieth-century philosophy by both his conviction that human life or activity is systematic and his conception of human reasoning as constituted in terms of what he calls «Historical Reason.» According to this study, it is in that concept of Historical Reason that we may also obtain the concept of a «material a priori principle» for the moral self-determination of the human subject.
