ReviewsRichard M. Weaver's book is important; his explanation of the breakdown of modern man is the best in years., Brilliantly written, daring, and radical. . . . it will shock, and philosophical shock is the beginning of wisdom., This deeply prophetic book not only launched the renaissance of philosophical conservatism in this country, but in the process gave us an armory of insights into the diseases besetting the national community that is as timely today as when it first appeared. Ideas Have Consequences is one of the few authentic classics in the American political tradition.

Table Of ContentForeword to the Expanded Edition The Consequences of Richard Weaver / By Roger Kimball Foreword / By Richard M. Weaver Introduction 1 The Unsentimental Sentiment 2 Distinction and Hierarchy 3 Fragmentation and Obsession 4 Egotism in Work and Art 5 The Great Stereopticon 6 The Spoiled-Child Psychology 7 The Last Metaphysical Right 8 The Power of the Word 9 Piety and Justice Afterword How Ideas Have Consequences Came to Be Written / By Ted J. Smith III Acknowledgments Notes
SynopsisOriginally published in 1948, at the height of post-World War II optimism and confidence in collective security, Ideas Have Consequences uses "words hard as cannonballs" to present an unsparing diagnosis of the ills of the modern age. Widely read and debated at the time of its first publication,the book is now seen asone of the foundational texts of the modern conservative movement. In its pages, Richard M. Weaver argues that the decline of Western civilization resulted from the rising acceptance of relativism over absolute reality. In spite of increased knowledge, this retreat from the realist intellectual tradition has weakened the Western capacity to reason, with catastrophic consequences for social order and individual rights. But Weaver also offers a realistic remedy. These difficulties are the product not of necessity, but of intelligent choice. And, today, as decades ago, the remedy lies in the renewed acceptance of absolute reality and the recognition that ideas--like actions--have consequences. This expanded edition of the classic work contains a foreword by New Criterion editor Roger Kimball that offers insight into the rich intellectual and historical contexts of Weaver and his work and an afterword by Ted J. Smith III that relates the remarkable story of the book's writing and publication., Originally published in 1948, at the height of post-World War II optimism and confidence in collective security, Ideas Have Consequences uses "words hard as cannonballs" to present an unsparing diagnosis of the ills of the modern age.
