Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) was a famous Spanish philosopher, one of the most visionary European thinkers of the twentieth century, who was able to calculate the transformation of European society for decades to come. "The Uprising of the Masses" is a socio-philosophical treatise by H. Ortega y Gasseta, the book that brought him worldwide fame. In it, for the first time in Western philosophy, he outlined the basic principles of the so–called mass society, where every single person is a statistician with high demands and low thoughts, incapable of creation and avoiding all responsibility. A state in which education, morality, and culture are losing their credibility is bound to decline, according to the author, because "ordinary souls, without being deceived about their own mediocrity, fearlessly assert their right to it and impose it on everyone and everywhere." The collection also includes the most important works for the creative legacy of Jose Ortega y Gasset: 'Dehumanization of Art', 'Reflections on Don Quixote' and 'Spineless Spain'. .
