The Present Conflict of Ideals: A Study of the Philosophical (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental ideas and ideals that fueled the Great War, offering a compelling analysis of the philosophical currents that shaped the conflict. The author examines the dominant intellectual forces of the era, including naturalism, idealism, pragmatism, and realism, tracing their impact on national beliefs and actions. The book explores how scientific advancements, particularly in the fields of biology and physics, influenced the prevailing worldview, leading to a materialistic interpretation of reality, often described as a "nightmare conception." This view, characterized by its detachment from human aspirations, shaped both individual and national perspectives on war and morality. The author delves into the complex relationship between ideals and actions, challenging the notion that professed beliefs are mere masks for hidden agendas. He argues that justifications for actions, whether personal or national, serve to secure support from individuals and societies, uniting diverse interests under a common banner. Through a detailed analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of various nations involved in the war, this book offers a profound understanding of the ideological battlefields that fueled the conflict, and the ways in which these forces continue to shape our world today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330389041_0
