Guillem Turro Ortega

The aim of this article is to analyse to what extent ethics have an influence on our professional life. Some philosophical ideas of Ortega y Gasset will, therefore, be used as a source of inspiration so as to be able to revisit what our profession means to our life. Personal vocation will especially be the focus of our attention as well as the concepts of ‘fate’, ‘project’, ‘mission’, ‘enterprise’ or ‘duty’, which we believe play an important role in relating our job ideal to the notion of authentic living. To sum up, it is our firm belief that while our job should fulfill our demands in life, it should also totally respond to our reason for living.
