ARAS ABSTRACT The visual structure of Meditations on Quixote is not accidental and refers to the use of two rhetorical resources –ekphrasis and synphronism– that Ortega discovers earlier in his studies on Azorín and Velázquez, and which allow him a slow transit from a ´phenomenology of vision´ to a phenomenological philosophy.
