A new article looks at the influence of the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) on Julius Evola, Ayn Rand, and Pierre Bourdieu. It is Björn Boman, “Left, right or something else? José Ortega y Gasset’s intellectual influence in the ideological realm,” SN Social Sciences 4, 204 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s43545-024-01008-2 (open access).
Conclusion with regard to Evola: Ortega’s influence was not great, but it is there. Wider significance: the article is one more step in tying the Traditionalists into the wider tapestry of the intellectual history of the Twentieth century.
