Ortega y Gasset analyses the new art of the early twentieth century, characterised by irony, originality and a departure from the sentimental. The volume includes other aesthetic essays, such as «La Gioconda» and «Diálogo sobre el arte nuevo», which frame the artistic debate in Spain in the 1920s.
Work originally published in 1925; this edition subtitled «Y otros ensayos de estética» is the first volume of Austral's Contemporánea collection and includes an introduction by Valeriano Bozal.
A classic of Spanish aesthetic thought, for readers interested in the philosophy of art and the cultural debates of the early twentieth century.
José Ortega y Gasset was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism and dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."
