Abstract

Unamuno and Ortega defended different points of view about the modernity crisis at the begining of the 20th Century. Their main concern was about gender relations but, while Ortega thought that the solution to the modern crisis was to restore masculinity, Unamuno claimed that in order to build a more humane modernity a different masculinity was necessary. The key to achieve this goal was to blend masculinity and femininity in a new gender identity.
