History as a System is a philosophical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, in which he analyzes the crisis of Western reason when trying to explain the human. For Ortega, thought is a dialogue with circumstances, and his philosophy emerges as a manifestation and diagnosis of the crisis affecting the model of reason and modern man. In this sense, history becomes a key factor for understanding and explaining human reality.
José Ortega y Gasset was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism and dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."
