José Ortega y Gasset on Customs/Morality - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 195 Customs/morality/Ortega y Gasset: public life has a spiritual, a moral, an economic, a religious, a political and a social dimension and concerns all collective customs (the so-called "usos", which are so fundamental to Ortega's concept of culture!) of social being. The "process of making masses" (See Mass/Ortega) brings about an astonishing increase in the quality of life, which has led to the fact that life options and possibilities for action, which in earlier times were reserved exclusively for a few people, are now open to many (if not all people). There is talk of a "general rise in the historical water level" (1) and a "rise in the entire historical level" (2), which is a "time of Brocker I 196 compensation" (3), through which the assets allegedly balance each other out. Brocker I 199 Mass Human/Ortega: "Morality is not a part of the mass human" (4). According to Ortega, both the anti-progressive, reactionary and the left-revolutionary mass human have no obligation whatsoever. He is not bound by rules of politeness or truthfulness. Respect, regard or even admiration for the excellent actions and achievements of certain people are completely foreign to him. 1.
