A classic work on radical aesthetics by one of the great
philosophers of the early twentieth century No work of philosopher
and essayist Jose Ortega y Gasset has been more frequently cited,
admired, or criticized than his response to modernism, "The
Dehumanization of Art." The essay, originally published in Spanish
in 1925, grappled with the newness of nonrepresentational art and
sought to make it more understandable to the public. Many embraced
the essay as a manifesto extolling the virtues of vanguard artists
and promoting efforts to abandon the realism and the romanticism of
the nineteenth century. Others took it as a denunciation of
everything that was radical about the avant-garde. This Princeton
Classics edition makes this essential work, along with four of
Ortega's other critical essays, available in English. A new
foreword by Anthony J. Cascardi considers how Ortega's philosophy
remains relevant and significant in the twenty-first century.
