Mass Mentality

Updating Ortega's Revolt of the Masses

De: Oswald Sobrino

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

This short book (really a monograph) is the fourth in a series on the Spanish existentialist/vitalist philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955), whose most famous work is The Revolt of the Masses (1930), which describes the mass man whom Ortega saw as a danger to civilization. This book seeks to critically update The Revolt of the Masses in the light of current realities such as Brexit and social media technology, while presenting the key ideas of Ortega on human life, the State, and mass mentality that are especially relevant and helpful today.
