SOBRE LA RELACIÓN ENTRE LOS «USOS SOCIALES» Y LAS «CREENCIAS» EN LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS DE ORTEGA REGARDING THE RELATION BETWEEN «SOCIAL USES» AND «BELIEFS» IN ORTEGAS FINAL YEARS

There is no doubt about the crucial role of the concepts of «social use» and «belief» in Ortegas philosophy. Each one is an answer to different intellectual issues that Ortega outlines in his works. If, on one hand, «belief» is related to Ortegas epistemology, on the other hand, «social use» is bonded with his sociology. Even if both concepts are very different at first sight, they could be regarded as the same as some experts actually do. This text tries to shed some light on the issue of the equivalence of these important concepts.
