«La deshumanización del arte y otros ensayos de estética» is an essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Alianza in paperback (240 pages, Spanish).
In this volume, Ortega y Gasset analyses modern art and the avant-gardes, arguing that the new art distances itself from the human and the realistic to become an intellectual game. The edition brings together, alongside the main essay, scattered articles, the speech «La verdad no es sencilla» and an unpublished appendix on the point of view in the arts.
The work was originally published in 1925; this copy is volume 10 of the series Obras de José Ortega y Gasset.
Aimed at students and readers interested in aesthetics, the philosophy of art and the twentieth-century avant-gardes.
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."
