 Man and People feature essays which Ortega developed and presented in several lectures and courses over a period of approximately twenty years. In The Origin of Philosophy, in a footnote, Ortega referred to the occasion in which he presented for the first time his concept of a “new sociology” under the title, “Man and People” in Valladolid in 1934 (Obras, IX: 355, n.1). The first chapter was published as “Being in and Beside One’s Self” by Espasa-Calpe Argentina, Buenos Aires, 1939 (Obras, V: 291–315; 7:, 72–73, 79). In a Prologue to his Ideas and Beliefs, Ortega announced in 1940 the forthcoming appearance of two major works: a philosophical exposition, Dawn of Historical Reason, and the corpus of his social doctrine, Man and People. In the Fall, 1940, at the University of Argentina, and four years later, at the University of Lisbon, Ortega presented lectures under the title, “Historical Reason”.  These variegated expositions were compiled and published posthumously in 1979. In 1929, Ortega wrote an essay titled “The Perception of One’s Fellowman” (Obras, VI: 153–163) that may explain his attempt to distinguish his concept of “the other” from Husserl’s notion of the “appearance of the other”in Man and People in view of the inevitable comparisons made between the two.
