1. La Crisis Del Mundo Moderno
A penetrating critique of modern Western civilization that argues contemporary society is in a profound spiritual and metaphysical collapse: materialism, secularism and technocratic rationalism have severed communities from perennial principles and traditional hierarchical order, producing cultural fragmentation, moral decay and ersatz spiritualities; history is read cyclically as an age of decline whose remedy lies not in further technological or ideological innovation but in the recovery of transcendent knowledge and authentic tradition.
