The Revolt of the Masses - Book by José Ortega y Gasset

Name: The Revolt of the Masses
Author: José Ortega y Gasset

José Ortega y Gasset’s The Revolt of the Masses critiques the rise of mass society in the early 20th century, where he argues that the “common man” has gained unprecedented influence in politics, culture, and society. Ortega y Gasset warns of the dangers of this shift, claiming that the masses, driven by mediocrity, are undermining the achievements of the elite. He laments the loss of individualism and the rise of collectivism, arguing that a balance is necessary between the elite's intellectual leadership and the mass's democratic participation, or society risks becoming intellectually stagnant and disordered.
