Enrique González Fernández, « Ortega: Reality and Phenomenology », Revue internationale de philosophie, ID : 10670/1.ixat6b
According to Julián Marías, as soon as Ortega thought deeply about phenomenology, he wentbeyond its idealistic philosophical aspect, which affirms conscience as absolute reality. Theelimination of the executive feature of conscience is illusory because reality itself, not its image orconcept, is executive. When a phenomenologist thinks that he is dealing with a reduced I, with an I-conscience, it is the executive I, fully real, the one which brings about a preterit image of its I, whichwas also executive before. Underneath the illusion of conscience, reality appears as our life.
