Ortega's 'The Revolt of the Masses' and the Triumph of the New Man (HC)

Review In this analysis of the social and political views espoused by Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) in The Revolt of the Masses (1930), Gonzales (philosophy, Barry U., Miami) shows how his perspectives on 'mass man' and philosophy as a personal tool for living are still relevant. With references to the existentialists whom he influenced and a glossary of terms used by Ortega, this study should be of interest to students of modern philosophy. His works in English translation are listed. --©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR
