Excerpt from The Science of Power
It is this fighting pagan of the world who has made the history of the West. The civilization which he has produced is the strangest flower in the fields of time. He has introduced into it at every point the spirit of the unmeasured ages of conquest out of which it has come. Into all the institutions which he has created he has carried the spirit of war, and the belief in force as the ultimate principle of the world.

Excerpt from The Science of Power
At some future time the nature of the drama which is at present unfolding itself in history must make a powerful appeal to the human imagination. Under our eyes, with the confused details of the events of the leading countries of the earth, we see the curtain rising upon an entirely new order of the world.
It is one of the curious features of our day that the nature of the change is as yet scarcely apprehended. The shadow of it rests upon all the events of the time. The meaning of it encircles the world. The instinct of it moves in the minds of distant peoples and of strange races. But there is yet scarcely any conception of its nature. We are undoubtedly living in the West in the opening stages of a revolution the like of which has never been experienced in history.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dramatic shift in Western civilization that occurred in the late 19th century. The author posits that the publication of Darwin's *Origin of Species* in 1859 sparked a widespread embrace of the idea of force as the driving principle behind progress. This resulted in a "pagan retrogresssion", where the principles of war and the pursuit of individual power overrode traditional ideals of peace and social cohesion. The book examines the impact of this shift on various areas of Western society, from international relations and the military to social and economic structures. The author argues that the rise of the proletariat, coupled with the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, created a new form of class war based on the principles of force and power. The author's insights offer a compelling perspective on the underlying forces that shaped the West's trajectory in the early 20th century, providing a valuable lens through which to understand the complexities of power, conflict, and social change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330324325_0
