José Ortega y. Gasset Livres

Ortega deals here with the roots and historical justification of philosophy, and the question of philosophy's essential unity.

This book, first published in 1930 and reissued in 1961, examines the Western phenomenon of the rise of the 'mass-man'. Analysing the state of society, it lays bare the problems that faced the countries of Europe in a book that resonates today in the imposition of direct action over discussion.

"The Dehumanization of Art and Other Essays on Art, Culture and Literature".

A work powerful and pervading in its implications not only for metaphysics but also for art, political science, and the philosophy of history.

Ortega traces the course of Western civilization backward, searching out what makes a civilization rise or fall and offering a way of looking at our own time. Based on a series of lectures on A. J. Toynbee's A Study of History.

Kids 9 to 12 will laugh out loud while reading this adventurous graphic novel, which brings an African folk tale to life for a new audience. When Sarra's parents die, they leave her with an important warning: never let Dan Auta, her little brother, cry. But Dan Auta loves to make trouble. He hitches a ride on the back of a bird, pokes the eye of the king's son, and even pees on the king's head. Making sure he doesn't cry is much harder than Sarra thought! But Dan Auta's unbridled curiosity and determination may be exactly what everyone needs: a terrible monster called the Dodo is attacking the city... and Dan Auta is the only one with the courage to take him on. Dan Auta features: A delightful celebration of mischief and bravery A portrait of the extraordinary things kids are capable of when they follow their own paths Lively illustrations from renowned illustrator Piet Grobler Supplementary material that explains the folk tale's significance, including a note from an Eritrean translator

Těžištěm svazku je přednáškový cyklus z roku 1933, ve kterém španělský filosof podnikl jeden z vůbec prvních pokusů o teoretické uchopení techniky a jejího vztahu k člověku. V dalších esejích se Ortega y Gasset vyjadřuje k pozdnímu Heideggerovi, s nímž se setkal na kolokviu v Darmstadtu, k filosofickému stylu, k architektuře či k teoretickým problémům fyziky. Přeložil M.
