Andrés Ortiz-Osés (1943 – 18 June 2021) was a Spanish philosopher. He was the founder of symbolic hermeneutics, a philosophical trend that gave a symbolic twist to north European hermeneutics.
He was born in Tardienta, studied theology in Comillas and Rome, and then moved to The Institute of Philosophy in Innsbruck where he earned a Ph.D. in hermeneutics.
At Innsbruck he attended the lessons of Gadamer and Coreth. He was a member of the Eranos group, inspired by C.G. Jung. Other members of Eranos have included Joseph Campbell, Karl Kerenyi, Mircea Eliade, Erich Neumann, Gilbert Durand, and James Hillman.
He was largely responsible for introducing Jungian theories into the Spanish and Latin American intellectual scene. He became a professor of hermeneutics at the University of Deusto in Bilbao. He wrote more than thirty books. He died in Zaragoza on 18 June 2021 at the age of 78.
