| Summary | "El Hombre Mediocre: Ensayo de psicologia y moral" by José Ingenieros is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work contemplates the nature of mediocrity and the role of idealism in human evolution, arguing that mediocrity, characterized by a lack of personal ideals and distinctiveness, is an impediment to individual and societal progress. Ingenieros positions himself against the prevalent mindset of mediocrity, promoting the pursuit of lofty ideals and original thought as fundamental to personal growth and the advancement of humanity. At the start of the book, the author illustrates the concept of mediocrity through the analogy of an ignorant shepherd, highlighting how most people navigate their existence without understanding or aspiration for perfection. He discusses the collective psychology of mediocrity, describing individuals who fail to rise above societal norms and adopt a mindset limited by routine and prejudice. Ingenieros emphasizes that true life is characterized by the pursuit of ideals, which fuel personal and collective progress. He seeks to delineate between the mediocre individual—who lacks distinctiveness and ambition—and the idealist, who aspires for greatness and contributes actively to society through original thought and action.
