Foundations Of The Nineteenth Century V2 (1912) - Houston Stewart Chamberlain - Bog

Foundations of the Nineteenth Century is a two-volume work written by Houston Stewart Chamberlain and first published in 1912. The book is a philosophical and historical study of the development of Western civilization from ancient times to the 19th century. Chamberlain argues that the 19th century was a pivotal moment in the history of the West, and that it represented the culmination of a long process of cultural and spiritual development. He traces the roots of Western civilization to the ancient Greeks, and argues that the Greeks were the first to develop a truly rational and scientific approach to the world. Chamberlain also discusses the influence of Christianity on Western culture, and argues that Christianity played a central role in shaping the values and beliefs of the West. He also examines the impact of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution on Western civilization, and argues that these movements were all part of a larger process of cultural and spiritual development. Throughout the book, Chamberlain emphasizes the importance of race and ethnicity in shaping Western civilization. He argues that the achievements of the West are the result of the unique qualities of the European people, and that these qualities are rooted in their racial and ethnic heritage. Foundations of the Nineteenth Century is a controversial work that has been criticized for its racial and ethnic theories. Despite this, it remains an important work in the history of Western thought, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
