In his groundbreaking and controversial book "The DIM
Hypothesis," Dr. Leonard Peikoff casts a penetrating new light on
the process of human thought and thereby on Western culture and
history.
In this far-reaching study, Peikoff identifies the three methods
people use to integrate concrete data into a whole, as when
connecting diverse experiments by a scientific theory, separate
laws into a constitution, or single events into a story. The first
method, in which data is integrated through rational means, he
calls Integration. The second, which employs nonrational means, he
calls Misintegration. The third is Disintegration which is
nihilism, the desire to tear things apart.
In" The DIM Hypothesis" Peikoff demonstrates the power of these
three methods in shaping the West by using the categories to
examine the culturally representative fields of literature,
physics, education, and politics. His analysis illustrates how the
historical trends in each field have been dominated by one of these
three categories, not only today but during the whole progression
of Western culture from its beginning in ancient Greece.
Extrapolating from the historical pattern he identifies,
Peikoff concludes by explaining why the lights of the West are
going out and predicts the most likely future for the United
States."
