Ortega y Gasset’s approach to the problem of circumstance is one of the most lucid shots in modern philosophy. That is: the notion that there is no need to rebel against it, but rather to integrate it, or at least make a continuous effort to integrate it into the personality, something that can only be achieved by learning what it has to teach. This problem, in fact, has intensified as the turning of the eyes inwards has become popular, an act that, if radicalized, ends up repudiating external reality. It turns out that this repudiation never achieves the desired effects, resulting only in disturbances and conflicts with no solution other than the acceptance that circumstance is always an inalienable element of being.
