Acerca de esta escucha

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. The book is now seen as one of the foundational texts of the modern conservative movement.

In it, 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.

I had to finish early (Audible label "Chapter 7") because of how rambling and boring this was. I just can't stand this reader implies it's absolutely riveting.
it was a year premise, I just got bored, and I rarely quit books, but I'm just not in the mood to be long suffering this week.

I listen on my commute, and the performance for this title faded in and out such that I missed enough parts along the way that I will need to re listen in a more quiet environment.

Fascinating subject matter, but not good in a car

My first thought upon completing this novel was, I must read it again. There is just so much here. There are moments that one can scarcely believe that this book was published in 1948. It’s like taking a journey into the future by going back in time. In that regards you must continually shift your reference remembering when Weaver wrote this book and what was the world stage upon which he looked.

The reader’s rather high pitched intonation and British accent were jarring for a book by a Southern author. The content is excellent, challenging to fully take in via audio—at least for me—but tightly argued. I would have enjoyed it more with a different narrator.

Had a hard time with the reader

Struggled a bit to finish it due to the awful narrator. The forward and ending narration was much better. The book was hard to follow at times. I was still able to get something out of it.

Awful main narrator. Writing style is dull.

The author is able to verbalize the worldview one has but cannot express. It is a classic for good reason.

A gem. There are probably a thousand quotable phrases in this book . It is also sadly relevant to our time.

Incredible

Ideas Have Consequences is eloquently written. I recommend that you listen more than once.

Still relevant today

It was amazing to see a well educated person express my own less eloquent thoughts about society, especially soong after it was written, only echoing what we said would happen.

thoroughly enjoyed, great thinker

One has to be acquainted with some philosophical background before reading this book. It summarizes so many others in a very organized and logical way. Very well written. Loved it and certainly will read it again.

Deep. Amazing.
