Sobre este item
A classic of post-War anti-modern conservative thought, in which Weaver advances his concept of "The Great Stereopticon," attributing the degradation and fragmentation of Western Civilization to a loss of belief in hierarchy and absolute truth, beginning with William of Ockham in the 14th century. "There is no term proper to describe the condition in which [modern Man] is now left unless it be 'abysmality'. He is in the deep and dark abysm, and he has nothing with which to raise himself. His life is practice without theory...secretly he hungers for truth but sonsoles himself with the thgought that life should be experimental..." (from the Introduction). Much reprinted, but the first edition has long been an elusive book in any condition; ours a clearly used but still quite presentable copy.
Sinopse
Ideas Have Consequences is a philosophical work by Richard M. Weaver, published in 1948. The book is largely a treatise on the deleterious effects that the doctrine of nominalism has had on Western Civilization since it gained prominence in the High Middle Ages, followed by a prescription of a course of action through which Weaver believes the West might be rescued from its decline.
