It is no longer news that the Western world is in a crisis, a
crisis that has spread far beyond its point of origin and become
global in nature. In 1927, Ren Gunon responded to this crisis with
the closest thing he ever wrote to a manifesto and
'call-to-action'. The Crisis of the Modern World was his most
direct and complete application of traditional metaphysical
principles-particularly that of the 'age of darkness' preceding the
end of the present world-to social criticism, surpassed only by The
Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times, his magnum opus. In
the present work Gunon ruthlessly exposes the 'Western deviation':
its loss of tradition, its exaltation of action over knowledge, its
rampant individualism and general social chaos. His response to
these conditions was not 'activist', however, but purely
intellectual, envisioning the coming together of Western
intellectual leaders capable under favorable circumstances of
returning the West to its traditional roots, most likely via the
Catholic Church, or, under less favorable ones, of at least
preserving the 'seeds' of Tradition for the time to come.
