All passages are directly translated from the original Spanish. Ortega provides an original perspective on metaphysics (the philosophical study of ultimate reality or being) that is clear, incisive, and understandable unlike the works of some other European existentialists. The book considers various themes developed by Ortega on metaphysics: the need for metaphysics, the nature of life, the role of circumstance, metaphysics as task, and defining reality.
