Jose Ortega's 'The Revolt Of The Masses': Fascism, Communism And European Politics
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The loss of freedom and reason was a concept that greatly worried Spanish philosopher and social theorist Jose Ortega y Gasset. At the time of World War I, totalitarianism was taking a stronghold upon Europe, while the Great Depression proved to threaten the nature and destiny of the Western civilization. The Enlightenment had begun to show signs of wear, directly affecting the manner by which freedom and reason were slowly but surely being cast aside. It can be argued that with the weakening influence of World War I, reason and freedom stood little chance of escaping the impact of totalitarianism. It was Ortega's contention that through the means of such barbarism, those who were intellectually undisciplined and culturally unrefined would soon serve as the new ambassadors to European existence. Asserting that such masses would prove fatal to the Europe's cultural, economic and political progress, Ortega was mightily concerned with the fascist and communist implications of such a trend, which he clearly addressed in his book entitled 'The Revolt of the Masses.'

Goethe's 'Faust': Relationship To German Enlightenment

What this means in terms of how great literary philosophers looked at the broader scope of existence lies within the works of such celebrated writers as Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. The writer discusses how Goethe embraced and critiqued the Enlightenment, recognizing it as a time in which all of mankind could break free from the confines of what had heretofore been accepted as a universal recognition of existence; with each individual following in the footsteps of those who went before, without any question as to why things are accomplished in any certain order, the time for the German Enlightenment symbolized the chance to break free from such constraints.
