Publisher's Synopsis
The Present Conflict of Ideals: A Study of the Philosophical Background of the World War is a book written by Ralph Barton Perry and published in 1918. The book explores the philosophical ideas and beliefs that led to the outbreak of World War I. Perry analyzes the conflicting ideas of nationalism, imperialism, democracy, and socialism that were prevalent in Europe at the time. He argues that these conflicting ideologies led to the breakdown of diplomacy and the outbreak of war. Perry also examines the role of religion, science, and technology in shaping the beliefs of the people involved in the war. The book provides a detailed analysis of the intellectual and philosophical climate of the time and offers insights into the causes and consequences of the war. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the intellectual climate of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
