The Spiritual Crisis of Modern Man
This is the title of a new book I have just published. It's actually not so much a new book as a collection of slightly edited essays from this blog plus one or two original pieces, all arranged into 12 sections that relate to the title.
The promotional blurb reads as follows:
"The world today is in crisis. We all recognise this but see it as political or environmental or social or economic or something along those lines. In other words, something material using that word to include the intellectual realm of ideas and ideologies. It is none of those or, if it incorporates them, they are symptomatic of something deeper and more serious. The crisis is spiritual. It is the result of wrong decisions collectively taken over several hundred years, each one of which builds on and worsens the last.
Consisting of over 100 essays arranged thematically, and ranging in subject from God to modern times, this book examines the crisis, looking at its cause, contemporary manifestations and means of resolution.
Our future is poised in the balance and each individual has a part to play in determining what that future might be. The Spiritual Crisis of Modern Man will help you make the right choices."
Well, I did say promotional blurb!
A link to the book on amazon UK is here.

and to the Kindle on amazon.com here
At the moment you can only look inside the Kindle versions which went up first but I hope that will be changed soon.
I've only just realised that the title echoes René Guénon's classic The Crisis of the Modern World. That was not intentional but it shows that the crisis has not gone away. In fact, I would say it's got worse.

Great stuff, William. Well done. I look forward to reading the book.
You're in good company with Guenon there, or maybe I should say he's in good company with you!
Good work,
John.
Thanks very much,John. But I don't aspire to Guenonian heights!
Congratulations on the new book.
Thanks Morgan.
