The content of this short essay aims to collect some insights provided by José Ortega y Gasset on happiness. The Spanish thinker does not dedicate a systematic work to the deepening of this important issue, but nevertheless he provides some interesting considerations for a more detailed and meticulous study on this subject. In fact, there are not many points in Ortega’s work in which he directly provides his own considerations on happiness, but the observations granted by the philosopher are interesting for our contemporary meditation. The thoughts here reconstructed in expressive unity converge starting from some specific points of Ortega’s opera omnia. This work of reconstruction and essential synthesis is intended to offer a philosophical contribution to the most comprehensive and organic reflection on happiness. The implicit hope contained in this text would like to leave available this questioning both for its existentialist dimensions and for its anthropological and sociological openings, which constitutively belong to the discussion of happiness. Keywords: Ortega y Gasset, happiness, human essence, personalism, vitalism
