Abstract
La labor intelectual de José Ortega y Gasset fue muy diversa y sus modos de actuación muy diferentes en distintos momentos de su vida. En este artículo se da cuenta sucinta de los mismos para mostrar cómo la cátedra, el periódico, las organizaciones políticas o las empresas editoriales que impulsó intentaron contribuir a un mismo afán de modernización de su país. Frente a la bibliografía que intenta resaltar alguno de estos aspectos, aquí se muestra cómo todos ellos formaron parte del quehacer orteguiano aunque con distinta intensidad en cada momento. Ortega representó esa función del intelectual contemporáneo que con sus ideas intentó influir en la opinión pública, pero sin abandonar nunca la concepción filosófica del intelectual como el que busca la verdad.
