The Reign Of Quantity & The Signs Of The Times by René Guénon
In this thought-provoking work, the author delves into the profound transformation of the modern world, critiquing the dominance of materialism and quantitative measures over qualitative values. The narrative explores the shift from traditional metaphysical principles to a focus on empirical science and technological progress, which the author argues leads to a spiritual and cultural decline. Through a series of essays, the book examines the implications of this shift on society, highlighting the loss of spiritual insight and the rise of superficiality and chaos in contemporary life. The author calls for a return to timeless wisdom and a reawakening of spiritual consciousness to counteract the pervasive influence of materialism.
