«World» in the Ethological Analysis of Antonio Rodriguez Huéscar

Abstract

The article distinguishes the four general meanings of «world» that appear in major works
of Antonio Rodriguez Huéscar, and also analyzes the concept of «world» that he develops in
his ethológico analysis of life within Ethos and logos. The article concludes that the term
«world», operating in that ethológico analysis, is a double meaning term, formed by the pair
of correlative meanings «world-perspective» and «world-circumstance», certainly a term that
comes from Ortega’s ontology. That correlative pair corresponds, perhaps, to his search for a
middle way between idealism and realism when conceiving the «presence» of the things of
the world as «requests» in the life or fundamental reality.
