The Crisis of Modernity makes available for the first time in English a selection of Del Noces essays and lectures on the cultural history of the twentieth century. Del Noce maintained that twentieth-century history must be understood specifically as a philosophical history  because Western culture was profoundly affected by the major philosophies of the previous century such as idealism  Marxism  and positivism. Such philosophies became the secular  neo-gnostic surrogate of Christianity for the European educated classes after the French Revolution  and the next century put them to the practical test  bringing to light their ultimate and necessary consequences. One of the first thinkers to recognize the failure of Marxism  Del Noce posited that this failure set the stage for a new secular  technocratic society that had taken up Marxs historical materialism and atheism while rejecting his revolutionary doctrine. Displaying Del Noces rare ability to reconstruct intellectual genealogies and to expose the deep metaphysical premises of social and political movements  The Crisis of Modernity presents an original reading of secularization  scientism  the sexual revolution  and the history of modern Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984035770421,"sku":"ByrdShop_0773544437","price":68.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780773544437.jpg?v=1770819292","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-crisis-of-modernity-volume-64","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
