Western Intellectual Tradition - A Book To Make the Earth Tilt....

Look what came in the mail yesterday! (Saturday 30-Sep-2017)

So I was up reading before dawn today....

This book traces the development of the main ideas of Western Civilization from the 1400's to the 1800's, the weakening of the medieval Christian synthesis, the growing chasm between science and the humanities, the ever more rapid gain of reliable knowledge combined with the ever more rapid loss of human meaning.

By describing the greatest ideas about the most important issues of an entire civilization this book helps us to sort out what we believe for ourselves and how we understand the world and how we understand our place in it.

This is the kind of book that makes the earth tilt... makes your hands tremble... makes it hard to catch your breath....
