ISBN10: 0900588675, ISBN13: 9780900588679, [publisher: Sophia Perennis et Universalis] Softcover The Reign of Quantity gives a concise but comprehensive view of the present state of affairs in the world, as it appears from the point of view of the 'ancient wisdom', formerly common both to the East and to the West, but now almost entirely lost sight of. The author indicates with his fabled clarity and directness the precise nature of the modern deviation, and devotes special attention to the development of modern philosophy and science, and to the part played by them, with their accompanying notions of progress and evolution, in the formation of the industrial and democratic society which we now regard as 'normal' Guénon sees history as a descent from Form (or Quality) toward Matter (or Quantity); but after the Reign of Quantity-modern materialism and the 'rise of the masses'-Guénon predicts a reign of 'inverted quality' just before the end of the age: the triumph of the 'counter-initiation', the kingdom of Antichrist. This text is considered the magnum opus among Guénon's texts of civilizational criticism, as is Symbols of Sacred Science among his studies on symbols and cosmology, and Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta among his more purely metaphysical works.

Sophia Perennis, March Date: 2006. Paper Back. New. Guenon (1886-1951) was one of the leading lights of what became know as the ''traditionalist school'' among scholars of comparative religion (others of note would be Frithjof Schuon, Titus Burkhardt, Ananda Coomaraswamy, and Huston Smith), who emphasized a ''Great Tradition'' of primordial truth common to all the major religious traditions of the world, to which they all bear witness in diverse ways (Huston Smith's <i>Forgotten Truth</i> would be a good primer for this vision of religion). These scholars were not just academic observers of religion; they were personally religious, and highly critical of the scientific materialism they sensed to be overwhelming the modern world. <i>The Reign of Quantity</i>, originally published in French in 1945, epitomized the traditionalists' critique of modernity. It does contain insights and descriptions of the modern age that seem prophetic after the passage of a half century. Essentially, it foresees an age when quantity--statistics, economics of scale, mechanistic models of man and society-- would ''reign'' over deeper humanistic values. One need not agree with the rather eccentric elements of syncretism and esoterism in Guenon's make-up to profit from his diagnosis of the pathologies of modernity. 2006.
