«España invertebrada» is the historical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Ortega analyzes the political and social crisis of the Spain of his time from historical reason: a nation disintegrates when a common life project is lacking and particularisms prevail. He examines how peoples integrate or disintegrate and links regionalisms with the country's disarticulation, from the periphery to the center.
Originally published in 1921, this edition from the Austral Collection includes the prologue by Federico Trillo-Figueroa and the subtitle «Bosquejo de algunos pensamientos históricos».
A classic of Spanish thought, recommended for readers interested in the history, politics and philosophy of Spain.
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."
