Abstract
Argentinian psychology in both genders was a topic that attracted the curiosity of some foreign observers. Amongst the ones that visited Argentina and wrote about it in the first half of the twentieth century, we found the American Waldo Frank, the German Keyserling and the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset. The latter travelled to the country in three opportunities, generating sharp observations about the idiosyncrasy of its people, recording his meditations in the essay “Intimidades”, which is part of “El Espectador”. The present work aims to analyze, from these writings, the reflections that the Spanish philosopher made regarding the differences between the psychology of Argentinian men and women. All of this shaped a national identity, understanding that the asymmetry is based on the idea of our country as a young nation.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
