In what Robert Nisbet called “One of the few authentic classics in the American political tradition” Richard Weaver unsparingly diagnoses the ills of the modern age and offers a remedy. He asserts that the world is intelligible, and that man is free. The catastrophes of our age are the product not of necessity but of unintelligent choice. A cure, he submits, is possible. It lies in the right use of man’s reason, in the renewed acceptance of an absolute reality, and in the recognition that ideas, like actions, have consequences.
