Correa Moylan Walsh - Climax of civilisation (1917)

Info

Standing by itself, the present work is offered as a new exposition of the cyclical theory in the philosophy of history. It attempts to describe the course which all civilizations naturally run, and to locate our position in the cycle of our civilization. This position is shown to be one near the top, or climax, and to contain premonitions of dis- integration and decline. The purpose of the work is to point out these germs of decay, and to emphasize the need of guarding against fomenting and cherishing them.
