CHAPTER I THE CRISIS IN CIVILIZATION AND ITS SPIRITUAL CAUSE
THE CRISIS IN CIVILIZATION AND ITS SPIRITUAL CAUSE
The material and spiritual elements in civilization
Our civilization is going through a severe crisis.
Most people think that the crisis was produced by the war, but that is wrong. The war, with everything connected with it, is only a phenomenon of the condition of un-civilization in which we find ourselves. Even in States which took no part in the war, and on which the war had no direct influence, civilization is shaken, only the fact is not so clearly evident in them as in those which were hard hit by the consequences of its peculiarly cruel spiritual and material happenings.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
