Book Reviews of Ideas Have Consequences
Book Review: Prepared for philosophical shock?
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a mad, mad, world, or at least we know it is today, but
in 1947, when Richard Weaver wrote this book, he knew
the world was already mad and had been since the 14th
century. You will be shocked to learn that the "sickly
metaphysical dream" in which we live was forseen
not just by this homely professor-farmer in 1947, but by
the prophets and "mad men from the deserts" of our rich past. His criticisms of radio, press and motion picture hit like a hammer and shatter what was already shattered. One wonders what this brilliant man would have said about the "information superhighway"!
