Description
First published in 1948, Ideas Have Consequences presents a stark diagnosis of the ills of modern society. With "words hard as cannonballs", Richard M. Weaver argues that relativism's rise has weakened Western civilization's capacity to reason, with far-reaching consequences for social order and individual rights.
Weaver contends that this decline is not inevitable, but rather a result of intelligent choice. He offers a remedy: the renewed acceptance of absolute reality and recognition that ideas have consequences. This expanded edition includes a foreword by Roger Kimball and an afterword by Ted J. Smith III, providing insight into Weaver's work and its historical context.
