Hola: Esto es un artículo sobre la obra de Cortázar:
Áquel hombre de espíritu altamente reflexivo, en el que lo "dado" se manifiesta "Bajo su lupa", como una oportunidad para interrogar y repensar la realidad, preguntándose y preguntándole acerca de su "Naturaleza".
Muchas gracias

who places preconceptions under the magnifying glass
I don't think the translation needs to be a forest of quotation marks.
They've been used for "dado" because they're not actually givens - they're preconceptions that can still be subjected to scrutiny. And they've been used for "bajo su lupa" because it's a metaphor, but there's no need to put metaphors in quote marks.

The sentence doesn't have a main verb in Spanish, but I think it needs one in English, eg "He was a deeply reflective man."

Spanish term (edited):
en el que lo \\\"dado\\\" se manifiesta \\\"Bajo su lupa\\\",
in which the "given" manifests itself under "his magnifying glass",
Maybe the literal is better:
in which the "given" manifests itself under "his magnifying glass",
through his own perspective is more poetic, less exact, I would say....
in which the "given" manifests itself under "his magnifying glass",
