José Ortega y Gasset's The Revolt of the Masses examines the rise of mass society and its impact on culture, politics, and intellectual life. Ortega argues that the dominance of the “mass man,” characterized by conformity and lack of self-discipline, threatens the achievements of civilization. He contrasts this figure with the cultivated individual who strives for excellence and responsibility. The work critiques both democracy's excesses and the erosion of cultural standards, offering a nuanced reflection on modern social dynamics. Provocative and influential, it challenges readers to consider the balance between equality, authority, and the preservation of human greatness.
