Sobre IBD

Civilization At The Cross Roads is a collection of four lectures given by John Neville Figgis at Harvard University in 1911. The book explores the challenges and opportunities faced by Western civilization at the turn of the 20th century. Figgis discusses the impact of industrialization, the rise of democracy, and the changing role of religion in society. He also examines the relationship between the individual and the state, and the importance of education in shaping the future of civilization. Throughout the lectures, Figgis emphasizes the need for balance and moderation in order to navigate the complex issues facing society. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the state of Western civilization at a pivotal moment in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
