El alma de la frontera»
Este artículo examina cómo Ramiro de Maeztu (1874-1936) consideró que la expansión imperial era necesaria para la democracia liberal. A través de sus escritos, desde 1911 hasta 1925, se muestra cómo Maeztu creía que la democracia liberal era inviable debido a las tensiones entre los principios liberales y democráticos. Sin embargo, tras un viaje a Estados Unidos en 1925, comenzó a considerar a este país como una excepción, derivada de su proceso …
Democratic Catastrophes and European Unification in Ortega y Gasset’s Postwar Political Thought
For a major liberal theorist of totalitarianism’s rise and early advocate for European unification, it is surprising how little Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset’s views on the Second World War have factored into studies of his political thought. In this article, I show that Ortega described the conflict as a “catastrophe” that motivated European unification. Rather than an ex post facto interpretation, this was for him the fulfillment of …

Scholars of José Ortega y Gasset often read him as a straightforwardly democratic figure. However, many of these readings adopt Ortega’s own terminology and assumptions and so neglect to place him within the larger spectrum of democratic thought. The theoretical significance of Ortega’s affirmation of democracy thus remains unclear, and particularly given that several major themes in his work pose indirect but nevertheless severe challenges to co…
Disoriented Liberalism
The fraught ideological relationship between liberalism and imperialism has been theorized primarily through the British, French, and American empires. This article moves beyond the experiences of these “great powers” by turning to Spain and its preeminent twentieth-century liberal thinker, José Ortega y Gasset. Unlike his British, French, and American counterparts, Ortega articulated liberalism not to promote or defend the forging of empire but …
