This book describes transitions in thinking in cultures. There is a traditional phase, a rational phase, and a mystical phase. Ortega hardly describes the mystical phase, which would seem to be the phase we have been shifting into for the past century since this book was written. It is interesting to think about the present 2016 US election cycle in these terms. The candidates seem so unreal. The debates seem more like professional wrestling matches, i.e. like the circus, like a cartoon... like some kind of fairy tale come to life. Perhaps the shift in media that McLuhan studied was not so much a matter of technology but a result of an underlying shift in cultural spirit. Ortega describes here Einstein's theory of relativity in that way.

On the one hand, Ortega sees a transition from one where culture, i.e. adherence to Platonic ideals, is the focus of society and spontaneous life is neglected. Now we can value life too, and put in in a proper relationship with culture. But if we are actually shifting to a mystical phase, a spiritual phase, where people believe anything just for the sense of comfort and security of belief, a phase dominated by the spirit of slavery... is that actually a kind of overshoot? Presumably societies are constantly in orbit, one sort of instability moving into another.

It's interesting reading a book like this, 100 years old more or less. In some ways it can be seen as a product of its time, a time quite distinct from ours. Hitler hadn't taken power yet. The Spanish Civil War... I don't know my history, but it certainly cannot have heated up much at all. On the other hand, to what extent does the momentum of social transformation tend to be preserved across such time spans?

Looking e.g. at mathematics, surely the sense of mathematical limits was already taking form at the beginning of the 19th Century with Abel's exploration of solutions of polynomials and with Riemann and Lobachevsky creating alternate geometries. That trajectory has continued through Godel and Turing and on into chaos theory etc. Politically, how much of today's politics grows directly out of Hitler's synthesis of mass media, corporate power, racism, etc.

This is the kind of philosophy book I like to read! Not a lot of technical jargon. It's not a book for any kind of inner circle. Any reasonably literate person can read this and get a lot out of it. ( )

Un breve y conciso libro en el que se expone el papel o tema que corresponde a nuestra generación. Cada generacíon enmarcada en un tiempo concreto, toma del pasado para dejar algo a la posteridad. En nuestro tiempo es necesario encontrar el punto medio entre el racionalismo y el relativismo radical. Sólo supeditando ambas a la propia vida, se puede alcanzar esa razón vital, útil y necesaria para no deshumanizar ni caer en el nihilismo más absoluto.
El estilo directo y claro de Ortega y Gasset contrasta con la amplia introducción que han hecho del texto, bastante más rimbombante y vacia. ( )
