The Six Maladies of the Modern Mind
Book •
Konstantin Noica's 'The Six Maladies of the Modern Mind' critiques modern thought, identifying six key problems: the spirit of abstraction, the cult of novelty, the loss of the sense of the sacred, the dictatorship of relativism, the reduction of being to function, and the triumph of nihilism.
He argues that these maladies stem from a departure from classical and traditional modes of thinking, leading to a fragmented and disenchanted worldview.
Noica emphasizes the importance of recovering a sense of wholeness, meaning, and transcendence in order to overcome these intellectual and spiritual crises.
The book calls for a renewed engagement with perennial wisdom and a rejection of the superficiality and alienation of modern culture.
It offers a profound diagnosis of the ills of modernity and a vision for intellectual and spiritual renewal.
