書籍簡介

本書闡述了作為“大眾”的社會力量在現代的崛起，以及一個由“大眾”佔據支配地位的時代的來臨。當前文明帶來了越來越舒適安逸的環境，這是一個“隨波逐流” “任其自然”的時代，大眾人在其中過着一種缺乏重量、失去根基的生活。他們幾乎沒有人能夠抵制得了來自思想、政治、藝術或社會習慣 方面的那些淺薄而短暫的風潮，卻宣稱自己有權利自行其事，企圖取代精英。故而奧爾特加將這種現象稱為“大眾的反叛”。

奧爾特加着重剖析了這一時代病症，並從歐洲的“大眾人”推延至國際範圍內的“大眾民族”。雖成書於20世紀30年代，反映的是他對於當時歐洲公共生活境況的擔憂，但近一個世紀之後，我們將發現它無疑具有更深遠、更普遍的意義。“大眾的反叛”已是我們每個人都要面對的問題，也是全球化時代下的人類文明所面臨的考驗。

Social upheaval in early 20th-century Europe is the historical setting for this seminal study by the Spanish philosopher, José Ortega y Gasset. Continuously in print since 1932, Ortega's vision of Western culture as sinking to its lowest common denominator and drifting toward chaos brought its author international fame and has remained one of the influential books of the 20th century.

作者簡介

何塞·奧爾特加·伊·加塞特（José Ortega y Gasset 1883—1955），17世紀以來西班牙最重要的哲學家、思想家、文學評論家、出版家，20世紀西方最重要的公共型知識分子，現代大眾社會理論的先驅。奧爾特加著述驚人，涉獵廣泛，舉凡哲學、文藝評論、政治、歷史乃至教育等等無一不在其視野之內，《大眾的反叛》是奧爾特加最負盛名的著作。

José Ortega y Gasset (9 May 1883 – 18 October 1955) was a Spanish philosopher and essayist. He worked during the first half of the 20th century, while Spain oscillated between monarchy, republicanism, and dictatorship. His philosophy has been characterized as a "philosophy of life" that "comprised a long-hidden beginning in a pragmatist metaphysics inspired by William James, and with a general method from a realist phenomenology imitating Edmund Husserl, which served both his proto-existentialism (prior to Martin Heidegger's) and his realist historicism, which has been compared to both Wilhelm Dilthey and Benedetto Croce."
