Ortega y Gasset’s Philosophy: Vitalism, Historicism, and Context
I. Historical and Philosophical Context
1. The Problem in Spain
Inevitably, a reference to the Spanish question. After the defeat of 1898 in an unjust and unequal conflict with the U.S., Spanish society fell into pessimism, topically expressed by the Generation of ’98. The fate of philosophical work was a constant concern for these intellectuals. Ortega’s philosophy was oriented towards the Europeanization of Spain and assumed a rupture with the pessimism of ’98.

The years between the end of World War I (1918) and the start of World War II (1939) are known as the interwar period.

EU Environmental Law Evolution and Key Principles
Legal Basis for EU Environmental Action
In the original 1957 treaties, environmental protection was not explicitly mentioned. Early legal bases were derived from interpretations of Article 2 TEU (harmonious development, growth) and Article 100 TEC (now 94). The Single European Act in 1986, specifically Article 130r, 130s, and Title 8 of the TEC, consolidated environmental policy.
Key Legal Instruments:
- Title XIX of the EC Treaty: Establishes the Department of Environment’s mission, including resource

Spanish Second Republic Reforms
The Spanish Second Republic initiated agrarian reforms, impacting landowners and wages. Military reforms faced opposition, leading to the closure of reform schools and clashes with the Church hierarchy. The 1933 election saw the conservative CEDA suspend reforms, resulting in strikes and the 1934 Asturias Revolution, repressed by the army. The 1936 election restored the Popular Front, leading to Catalan autonomy (GA 1936-1939). Conservative factions opposed the government,

1 – Aristotelian Ethics
According to Aristotle, we must always act avoiding exaggerations and extreme attitudes. Virtue is in a fair compromise, a balance. For example, courage is good and is right in the middle of cowardice and irresponsibility.
2 – Stoic Ethics

Theme 6: Educating Emotional Intelligence
Concept of Emotional Intelligence
Educational values relate to the idea of growing as a “whole person.” This involves:
- Critical knowledge and its application.
- Understanding emotions and their influence on actions.
- Evaluation: using moral language to assess value.
- Will: guiding students to manage emotions through higher-level intelligence.
Extensive neurobiological research demonstrates that thinking and emotions are intertwined:
- Emotions and thinking are interconnected

Elements of Criminal Attempt
There are four objective factors:
- Performance of Execution Acts: The subject must move beyond the internal phase and preparatory acts, performing external actions. This includes practicing at least part of the implementing acts in an unfinished attempt, or all in a finished attempt.
