Description
Western politics has undergone a significant shift. The Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump in 2016, as well as the one-third share of the vote won by Marine Le Pen in the 2017 French presidential election, demonstrate a change in the traditional centre-left and centre-right contest. This shift has led to the rise of influential figures associated with Traditionalism, a philosophy that combines a radical critique of modernity with a vision of a better alternative rooted in timeless spiritual precepts. Traditionalism posits that modernity is not the triumph of human progress, but rather the result of inexorable decline. According to this ideology, modern humanity has lost touch with the ancient spiritual and philosophical truths that were once the basis of a healthy society. Mark Sedgwick explores and explains Traditionalism, providing a comprehensive understanding of this influential and lesser-known ideology. Understanding Traditionalism is essential, as it is shaping our world. Mark Sedgwick is the perfect guide for those seeking to comprehend this complex philosophy.
