Ortega identifies three layers of national decay: superficial political errors, dangerous particularism threatening unity through separatist movements, and most profoundly, what he calls "aristophobia"—a hatred of excellence embedded in the Spanish soul. Tracing this malady to medieval roots and the absence of strong feudalism, he argues that mass rebellion against the best has caused Spain's great historical failure.
