«España invertebrada» is the philosophical essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Austral in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
The philosopher examines the Spain of his time as a case of national disintegration. Using historical reason as a tool, he studies how nations are born and dissolve, and locates the origin of the Spanish problem in the lack of a common project; from this derive particularisms and the direct action of certain social groups.
The book belongs to the Contemporánea collection and includes a prologue by Federico Trillo; the work was originally published in 1921.
It will interest readers of political philosophy and Spanish history seeking a classic on the problem of nationalisms.
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."
