The Rebellion of the Masses
Book •
José Ortega y Gasset’s 'The Revolt of the Masses' analyzes the rise of mass culture and the increasing influence of the average person in modern society.
Ortega argues that the 'mass-man' lacks a sense of responsibility, embraces mediocrity, and seeks to impose his own limited perspective on all aspects of life.
He warns against the dangers of conformity and the decline of intellectual and moral standards.
The book is a critique of modern democracy and a call for a cultural and intellectual elite to guide society towards higher ideals and values.
