Human Life Is Not Just a Mental Construction

Ortega's most famous line is this one: quot i am i and my circumstance. He says neither i am a substantial being, nor is the world. But rather, we both are in active correlation. If there were no things to see, think or imagine, then i would not see, Think or imagine. Ortega thinks descart didn't take it far enough with his dualistic metaphysics of mind body dualism.
