«La rebelión de las masas» is the philosophical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (295 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Ortega y Gasset analyses the rise of the mass-man and his role in the culture, politics and society of his time. He reflects on democratisation, technical progress and the decline of elites, and sets out the challenges facing European civilisation in the face of the dominance of the mass.
1999 edition in the Opera Mundi collection (Biblioteca Universal del Círculo de Lectores), directed by Fernando Savater, with a prologue by Jordi Llovet.
For readers of philosophy and social thought interested in the great essays of Spanish thought.
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."
