Significado pedagógico de la relación entre "minoría" y "masa" en "España invertebrada"

Abstract

Este artigo pretende sublinhar o valor formativo da contraposição orteguiana entre os modelos humanos de ser "excelente" e de ser "médio". Sustentamos que o desenvolvimento das concepções pedagógicas do filósofo nos anos vinte do século passado permitem ler o significado do livro "España invertebrada" a uma luz peculiar. / The Ortega y Gasset’s categories of minority and mass, particularly in "España invertebrada", are mainly studied in works on the elitist sense of the author’s social and political philosophy. In this text, we intend to go beyond the usual analyses and underline the less pointed out formative value of the opposed human models of being "excellent" and being "average". From our point of view, the spanish philosopher’s pedagogical concepts are rooted in the important stage of development of his thought during the 20’s of last century, which comprehension enables us to sustain a less common understanding of "España invertebrada".
