Thoughts in connection with the writings of four authors: José Ortega y Gasset, Róbert Schiller, Ágnes Kapitány and Gábor Kapitány1

The emergence of the intellectual mode of production makes one of the chapters of Ortega’s essay timely. This essay is The Revolt of the Masses and the above chapter is the chapter XII The barbarism of “specialisation”. For some time past I have been planning to write about this Ortega’s essay from my own point of view but now I only comment on a part concerning the scholars.
