Decay Of Rationalism (1910)

Decay of Rationalism is a book written by Arthur Holmes in 1910. It is a philosophical work that critiques the dominant rationalist thought of the time and argues for a more holistic approach to understanding the world. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the decay of rationalism. In the first part, Holmes examines the limitations of rationalism as a philosophical framework. He argues that rationalism relies too heavily on logical deduction and fails to account for the complexity and unpredictability of the real world. The second part of the book focuses on the impact of rationalism on religion. Holmes argues that rationalism has led to a decline in religious faith and a loss of spirituality. He contends that a more intuitive and experiential approach to religion is needed to restore a sense of meaning and purpose in life. The final part of the book explores the implications of the decay of rationalism for society as a whole. Holmes argues that the over-reliance on rationalism has led to a narrow and mechanistic view of the world, which has resulted in social and environmental problems. He calls for a more holistic and interconnected approach to society that takes into account the needs of both individuals and the planet. Overall, Decay of Rationalism is a thought-provoking work that challenges the dominant philosophical and cultural trends of its time. It offers a compelling critique of rationalism and proposes a more holistic and integrated approach to understanding the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
