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.

Thank you for this reference on Ortega, which I'm reading with interest. That being said, I'm struck by the poor quality of the English. Doesn't Springer copyedit and revise its text before publication?
