In this essay, Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset revisits the ideas he set forth in the articles published by the journal Nosotros [Us] (Buenos Aires) under the title “Las Revistas: El tema de nuestro tiempo” [The Magazines: The Topic of Our Times] (issues No. 165 and 166). On the one hand, he again explains that through the course of history, “hay épocas en que las generaciones sucesivas se diferencian poco entre sí” [there are periods when successive generations have few differences], since there is a natural continuity of thought, ideas, values, etc. “[H]ay otras épocas, como la actual, en que esa continuidad se rompe” [There are other periods, such as the current one, when that sequence breaks down]. Ortega y Gasset goes on to explain that in the current breaks with the prior period, “aún no han sido elaborados los nuevos dogmas” [new dogmas have yet to be created], [moreover,] “a una idea de ayer no sigue…otra idea concreta . . . sino un estado de espíritu puramente formal” [yesterday’s idea is not followed by. . . any other specific idea . . . rather a purely formal state of mind]. Today, “la nueva generación no posee . . . ni siquiera en esquema, un repertorio distinto que oponer al antiguo” [the new generation doesn’t even have . . . a plan, or any new range of possibilities to counter the old].
