Sociology of the Masses: A Sociological Analysis, Discussion, and Criticism of José Ortega y Gasset's The Revolt of the Masses

Jerome Alvarez, Fordham University

Abstract

Long before modern anthropologists, the Spanish humanist, Juan Luis Vives, in his Fable about Man (1555), and Pico della Mirandola in his classic Oration on the Dignity of Man (1580), stated that man is not only social and political, but also cultural by nature. Only in so far as he lives a cultural life does he attain the full development of his natural potentialities.
