The Reign of Quantity gives a concise but comprehensive view of the
present state of affairs in the world, as it appears from the point
of view of the 'ancient wisdom', formerly common both to the East
and to the West, but now almost entirely lost sight of. The author
indicates with his fabled clarity and directness the precise nature
of the modern deviation, and devotes special attention to the
development of modern philosophy and science, and to the part
played by them, with their accompanying notions of progress and
evolution, in the formation of the industrial and democratic
society which we now regard as 'normal'. Guenon sees history as a
descent from Form (or Quality) toward Matter (or Quantity); but
after the Reign of Quantity-modern materialism and the 'rise of the
masses'-Guenon predicts a reign of 'inverted quality' just before
the end of the age: the triumph of the 'counter-initiation', the
kingdom of Antichrist. This text is considered the magnum opus
among Guenon's texts of civilizational criticism, as is Symbols of
Sacred Science among his studies on symbols and cosmology, and Man
and His Becoming according to the Vedanta among his more purely
metaphysical works.
