Description
René Guénon's The Crisis of the Modern World is a provocative critique of the Western world's disconnection from its spiritual heritage. First published in 2001, this work is a direct application of traditional metaphysical principles to social criticism, exposing the 'Western deviation' and its consequences. Guénon argues that the Western world has lost its way, prioritizing action over knowledge and individualism over tradition. This book is a call to re-examine the foundations of modern society and to seek affiliation with a revealed tradition. With ruthless clarity, Guénon exposes the chaos and disorder that result from this deviation, and invites readers to consider a different path forward. A thought-provoking and deeply insightful work, The Crisis of the Modern World is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the underlying causes of the world's current crisis.
