Abstract
In 1931, Oliver Brachfeld interviewed Ortega y Gasset for the Internationale Zeitschrift fur Individual-Psychologie magazine. His book, Inferiority feelings, was published in 1936. In this article, we analyze the reception of Ortega y Gasset’s thoughts through the successive editions of Brachfeld’s work. Brachfeld argues that Ortega y Gasset establishes the foundations for a behavior analysis grounded on the feelings of self-esteem, and formulates a theory of inferiority feelings. Ortega y Gasset claims that arrogance results from a reaction, a diminution of our being, and explains it when he states that our spirit revolts and rebels against a reality that destroys our self-esteem. For Ortega y Gasset and Brachfeld, the level of this feeling gives rise to inferiority feelings. Thus, the nature of a particular society will depend on the way its members value themselves.

Summary
A partir de 1931 empieza una de las épocas más felices de Brachfeld, que entonces tenía 23 años. Brachfeld colaboró con los medios culturales de la República. En 1942 Brachfeld regresó a Barcelona y reemprendió las actividades a las que se dedicaba antes de la guerra civil, en los ámbitos de las conferencias, los artículos, las traducciones, las asesorías de editoriales, etcétera. Brachfeld aceptó la invitación de la Universidad de Colonia, en la República Federal Alemana, esperando encontrar un ambiente menos hostil, más comprensivo que el de Barcelona. Uno de los problemas era el de su nacionalidad y documentación, ya que, después de haber vivido la mayor parte de los últimos 28 años en Barcelona, se encontraba sin nacionalidad y, por lo tanto, viajaba como un ciudadano apátrida. En Quito, en plena actividad, el 2 de septiembre de 1967, murió inesperadamente a causa de un ictus
