RAMIRO DE MAEZTU. UN INTELECTUAL COMPROMETIDO POLÍTICAMENTE
RAMIRO DE MAEZTU. A POLITICALLY COMMITTED INTELLECTUAL

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 19th century, after the fall of the last overseas colonies of the Spanish Empire, the intellectuals of the '98 Generation became aware of the serious and profound political, economic and social crisis that the country was going through. In this context, we thought it opportune to raise the following problem: how did the intellectual Ramiro de Maeztu commit himself politically with the aim of collaborating in diagnosing the ills of Spain and providing solutions? It has been inferred that Maeztu used his pen in the press to objectively denounce the evils of different kinds that they attributed to Spanish society, such as deontological degeneration in the journalistic and artistic and literary sphere. For this reason, Maeztu reproached many writers and journalists for complicity with corrupt political parties in favor of their own interests and to the detriment of the people’s interests.
