4.0 von 5 Sternen important and readable, 27. Mai 2000
Although I have a lot of sympathy for the author's clearly written critique of the modern mass's self-authorization to have its hands in everything, I needed more clarification about whether (in the author's view) individual mass men are capable of overcoming their inertia and bettering themselves. If Ortega y Gasset defines as "mass man" the person who though capable of enhanced self-reflection chooses instead to watch TV and absorb opinions from without while calling them his own, then I'm in his corner. In either case, very much worth reading.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Mass Man Missive, 26. April 2000
Most reviewers seem to see this book as a reaction to the rise of fascistic and nationalistic tyrannies of Mr. Ortega y Gasset's day. Fascism is a tyranny of the bourgeois. And though a tyranny is a tyranny is a tyranny, the bourgeois were the minority whom the author claimed were the progenitors and preservers of European civilization. (And for those who feel that Revolt of the Masses is Euro-centric, well you are right. That was his target audience; just read the second to last paragraph. But so what. That complaint is like denouncing the Bible as being biased towards Christians.) Additionally, the fascists, though thuggish and violent in their actions, at least made a pretense to their past and heritage (a la Rome). A far greater representation of mass man is found in the socialistic and communistic nations, then and now. Communism makes no appeal to the heritage of civilization but instead seeks to separate itself via Revolution. Additionally, communism is not a revolution of the bourgeoisie, but against it. What could be more mass man than that? In this I wish to make no defence of fascism, not in the least. But rather to form a distinction between the two and to note, sadly and a little fearfully, that though 99% of us agree that fascism is a dangerous counter to civilization, there are far too many proponents of communism still swaying the opinions of mass man for us to feel comfortable. All in all this book is a good warning to the defenders and partakers of Western Civilization and has not, in any way, become dated by the passing of the fascistic states of Europe. Danger still abounds.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Words of wisdom for a new millennium, 6. Januar 2000
After reading "The Revolt of the Masses" it would be easy to criticize Ortege y Gasset's elitism and Euro-centrism. However, the importance of this book lies not so much in Ortega y Gasset's exposing the ignorance and ineptitude of mass man, but rather in his expressing a concern with how he will be able to come to terms with the modern world and its new level of social complexity. Ortega y Gasset, recognizing the social, economic, and political trends of a de-historicized and de-humanized Europe can do nothing less than place mass man at the center of an uncertain destiny--a destiny that becomes his inheritance as a result of blind force and numbers. Throughout the book, there is a constant tension between the historical present and the possible future, a tension that can be seen in much of Ortega y Gasset's other writings. As we experience the psychological force of the coming millennium, Ortega y Gasset's ideas provide us with a general blueprint for both the new possibilities and the inevitable complications that we must face. If Ortega y Gasset were here, he would perhaps wonder: Are we about to enter an age that will be able to unify the energies of mass man toward a common and transcendent purpose, or are we to enter an age that will, like on the eve of fascist Europe, lead mass man, not forward, but into the murk and mire of an apathetic commonality. At the heart of this book is the fact that whatever happens, and for better or worse, mass man is here to stay and his potential must not be ignored.
