«La rebelión de las masas» is the social and political philosophy essay by José Ortega y Gasset, published by Orbis in hardcover (208 pages, in Spanish).
Ortega y Gasset analyzes European society in 1930: technical progress raises the standard of living and allows the majority to enjoy privileges once reserved for a few, but it places the «hombre-masa» in power. The specialist, defined as a «sabio-ignorante», reflects a culture threatened by uniformity and mediocrity.
1983 edition from Ediciones Orbis, in the Historia del Pensamiento collection, classified under philosophy and history.
A reference work for those studying philosophy, sociology and Spanish history, and for readers interested in twentieth-century European 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."
