«La rebelión de las masas» is the essay on social and political philosophy by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Espasa in paperback (295 pages, in Spanish).
Ortega y Gasset analyses the rise of the masses to the forefront of European social and political life and contrasts it with the select or cultivated man. The work reflects on the crisis of culture, the role of the ruling minority and the loss of direction of the mass-man in modern society. It is one of the most widely circulated texts by the Spanish philosopher and remains a relevant reading as a diagnosis of modernity.
This edition from the Austral Collection includes an introduction by Julián Marías. The work, originally published in 1930, is one of the most famous by Ortega y Gasset.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, sociology and analysis of contemporary society.
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."
