Paperback. Condizione: 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.
