The Progress of the Age: And the Danger of the Age: Two Lectures Delivered Before the St. Xavier Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Brotherhood in the Hall of St. Louis University (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progress of the Age: And the Danger of the Age: Two Lectures Delivered Before the St. Xavier Conference of the St. Vincent De Paul Brotherhood in the Hall of St. Louis University
The present literary compositions form part of a course of lectures delivered during the winter of 1862-63, by some of the Professors of the St. Louis University. The publication of these two lectures has been thought particularly appropriate at this time, both on account of the interesting nature of the subject and the ability with which it is treated, and as a slight tribute to the memory of the author, since deceased.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compilation of lectures by professors of philosophy and theology from St. Louis University in the 1860s, presents an utterly unique perspective on the evolution of progress throughout history. The author positions the 19th century as a standout era marked by rapid intellectual, material, and moral progression, although he acknowledges that these developments carried both the potential for unparalleled societal advancements and severe crises and instability. The text explores key themes such as the impact of scientific and technological breakthroughs in fields like chemistry and geology on our understanding of the natural world, as well as the more somber consequences of widespread industrialization and rampant materialism. Ultimately, the book offers an in-depth look at the interplay between scientific discovery, religious evolution, and the human condition during one of the most consequential epochs in human history.
