Jose Ortega Y Gassett, The Revolt Of The Masses
Prefatory note
N my book Espana Invertebrada, published in 1922, in an article in El Sol entitled "Masas" (1926), and in two lectures given to the Association of Friends of Art in Buenos Aires (1928), I have treated the subject developed in the present essay. My purpose now is to collect and complete what I have already said, so as to produce an organic doctrine concerning the most important fact of our time.CHAPTER I: THE COMING OF THE MASSES ||| CHAPTER II: THE RISE OF THE HISTORIC LEVEL
CHAPTER III: THE HEIGHT OF THE TIMES ||| CHAPTER IV: THE INCREASE OF LIFE
CHAPTER V: A STATISTICAL FACT ||| CHAPTER VI: THE DISSECTION OF THE MASS-MAN BEGINS
CHAPTER VII: NOBLE LIFE AND COMMON LIFE, OR EFFORT AND INERTIA
CHAPTER VIII: THE MASSES INTERVENE IN EVERYTHING, AND WHY THEIR INTERVENTION IS SOLELY BY VIOLENCE
CHAPTER IX: THE PRIMITIVE AND THE TECHNICAL ||| CHAPTER X: PRIMITIVISM AND HISTORY
CHAPTER XI: THE SELF-SATISFIED AGE ||| CHAPTER XII: THE BARBARISM OF "SPECIALISATION"
CHAPTER XIII: THE GREATEST DANGER, THE STATE ||| CHAPTER XIV: WHO RULES THE WORLD?
CHAPTER XV: WE ARRIVE AT THE REAL QUESTION
