The Author. Jose Ortega y Gasset is no barbarian specialist. Because he is Professor of Metaphysics at Madrid University it does not follow that he is a mere academician. Like his brilliant colleague Miguel de Unamuno, rector of Salamanca University, but less actively, Ortega y Gasset has long been a Republican, now sits in Spain's Cortes between lectures. His influence as a. writer, philosopher and statesman is felt not only in Spain but throughout the Spanish-speaking world— a world bigger than Anglo-Saxons often realize. He founded and still edits the Revista de Occidente, Spanish literary and philosophical review.
