Huéscar presents a systematic critique of idealism and modernity, framing Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philosophy as the most refined and far-reaching version of idealism. He includes the essentials of the system of categories adopted by Ortega in order to overcome idealism.

Antonio Rodríguez Huéscar was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Puerto Rico. Jorge García-Gómez is Professor of Philosophy at Long Island University. He has also edited and translated J. Ortega y Gasset's Psychological Investigations.
