A fine presentation for a book that represents the culmination of a lifetime of study by the author. A fantastic addition to any collection. From wikipedia: Barzun published the book when he was 93 years old, and described the book in its prefatory note as the culmination of "a lifetime" of study of Western thought. He organizes the era of study - roughly 1500 to the then-present day of 2000 - into four large-scale periods. The first, spanning approximately 1500 to 1660, revolves principally around questions of religious belief; the second, roughly 1661 to 1789, around questions of how to arrange governance vis-a-vis the individual; the third, spanning approximately 1790 to 1920, around social and economic equality; and the fourth continuing to spin out the effects and influence of the decisions made in those previous eras. He refers to the last era as a period of "decadence", which he describes as follows. All that is meant by Decadence is "falling off." It implies in those who live in such a time no loss of energy or talent or moral sense. On the contrary, it is a very active time, full of deep concerns, but peculiarly restless, for it sees no clear lines of advance. The loss it faces is that of Possibility. The forms of art as of life seem exhausted, the stages of development have been run through. Institutions function painfully. Repetition and frustration are the intolerable result. Boredom and fatigue are great historical forces. The book is divided into four sections corresponding to the four periods mentioned above, which are then subdivided into chapters, some of which are organized around specific ideas, and others around what he calls "cross-sections" of cities or regions at particular historical moments. Barzun addresses trends in religious and philosophical thought, ideas about governance, politics, and political economy, literature, visual art, music, stage works, science and technology, manners and fashion, and other aspects of Western culture, interlinking them into a broad history of ideas. He highlights several recurrent themes throughout Western thought, including Abstraction, Analysis, Emancipation, Individualism, Primitivism, Scientism, Secularism, and Self-Consciousness. He argues that "the peoples of the West offered the world a set of ideas and institutions not found earlier or elsewhere", and that "it has pursued characteristic purposes - that is its unity - and now these purposes, carried out to their utmost possibility, are bringing about its demise."
