The present paper discusses the intellectual influence of the Latin American countries on philosophical thinking of the prominent Spanish modern philosopher José Ortega y Gasset, as well his personal interest in this area, especially in Argentina. It also focuses on the influence of Ortega on Hispano-American philosophical thinking. On the first pages the text presents a brief history of philosophical thinking in Latin America. It then focuses on Ortega's efforts to find an intellectual “cure” for the Hispano-American problem associated with the search for national identity. It also describes Ortega's ideas, theories and concepts that had the most significant influence on the work of the intellectuals in Latin America – namely perspectivism, raciovitalism, the theory of generations and the theory of cultures.
