Ortega y Gasset was one of the most important Spanish philosophers who played a major role in his time. His works influenced literature, philosophy and social sciences. The area that Ortega discussed in his works is education. He believed that education is a process where a person becomes aware of his own freedom and his responsibility, and also acquires opportunities and competences to face his own challenges that society, community and life bring. Philosophy thus plays a significant role in education. It thus provides a basic framework for understanding the world, nature and humanity, and helps individuals to see the wider context of their existence. The role of the university must also be that the individual develops intellectually and thinks critically, and not just to learn passively. Ortega considers his ideas about education through several areas. He considers education as a process of building an individual. Education is so important for the development of character, personality and enables the individual to develop individual abilities. Education also connects with culture, and criticizes mass education. He believed that mass education leads to standardization. Mass education also has an impact on society today. Ortega criticizes such ways in education that we can still recognize today.
