Abstract
Taking his cue from diverse yet complementary quotes from José Ortega y Gasset and Eugeni d’Ors, famed philosopher and cultural critic Xavier Rubert de Ventós examines some of the ties and tensions between urbanization as a geo-architectural and political practice and urbanity as a social, even moral, practice. Offering what he presents as an archeological and etymological review of terms and concepts, and addressing the widespread perception of a crisis in civic values, the author examines the relations between the city as material and symbolic space and tact, respect, manners, conduct, and sociability.
