The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times by René Guénon is a powerful and insightful critique of the modern world. Guénon argues that we are living in a time of profound spiritual and intellectual decline, characterized by a materialistic obsession with quantity over quality.
In this book, Guénon traces the historical roots of this decline, showing how it is ultimately rooted in a loss of traditional values and beliefs. He also examines the various ways in which the reign of quantity manifests itself in the modern world, from the rise of mass production and consumerism to the decline of traditional education and culture.
Guénon's book is a challenging but essential read for anyone who wants to understand the deeper forces shaping our world today. It is a call to wake up from the slumber of modernity and to rediscover the traditional values that are essential for a truly human existence.
