The Revolt of the Masses
Jose Ortega y Gasset
Societal changes in early 20th-century Europe provide the historical context for this seminal work by the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. The author’s vision of Western culture as sinking to its lowest common denominator and drifting toward chaos remains one of the most influential books of the 20th century, and has only become more relevant with the passage of time.
