Palabras clave
Ortega y Gasset, derecha española, liberal-conservatismo.
Resumen
El pensamiento político de José Ortega y Gasset es de clara tendencia liberal-
conservadora. No obstante, fue muy criticado por el conjunto de las derechas españolas.
Las razones de tal rechazo fueron de carácter fundamentalmente religioso.
Su agnosticismo, su defensa del laicismo y posteriormente su republicanismo le
enajenaron el apoyo de las derechas, casi en su totalidad católicas y monárquicas.
Sin embargo, sin su aportación intelectual resulta imposible interpretar la emergencia
de nuevas tradiciones en el seno de la derecha española.

Abstract
Although José Ortega y Gasset’s political thought shows clearly liberal-conservative
tendencies, it was much criticised by the Spanish right wing, who rejected it
on mainly religious grounds. His agnosticism, his defence of secularism and later
his republicanism put off other right-wing thinkers, who were almost all Roman
Catholic monarchists. However, it is impossible to understand the emergence of new traditions within the Spanish right wing without taking his intellectual contribution
into account.
