A seminal discussion of literature by the author of The Revolt of the Masses.

"The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture and Literature".

Ortega deals here with the roots and historical justification of philosophy, and the question of philosophy's essential unity.

"A worthy companion of the author's The Revolt of the Masses. Both books are marked by the brilliance, originality, and depth of the author's interpretation of the crisis of our age and of the basic historical processes." -Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science

This book, an exploration of the work of Leibnitz, is Ortega's most systematic contribution to philosophy.

The distinguished philosopher explores the foundations of sociology and makes a fresh examination of the meaning of society.

This volume, based on lectures given by Ortega in 1915-1916, makes available more of his translated works and is an important part of his philosophical legacy. It gives expression, in characteristically lucid and accessible prose, to Ortega's encounter with classical psychology and Husserl's phenomenology.

Two sets of previously untranslated lectures given by Ortega in the early 1940s form the basis of this volume. They deal with Western man's need for the new species of thought that Ortega designates as "historical reason."

Ortega traces the course of Western civilization backward, searching out what makes a civilization rise or fall and offering a way of looking at our own time. Based on a series of lectures on A. J. Toynbee's A Study of History.

Social upheaval in early 20th-century Europe is the historical setting for this study by Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset. In print since 1932, Ortega's vision of Western culture is of society sinking to its lowest common denominator and drifting toward chaos.

A work powerful and pervading in its implications not only for metaphysics but also for art, political science, and the philosophy of history.
