Publisher's Synopsis
The Two Civilizations: An Oration is a historical book written by James Augustus Fox and originally published in 1882. The book explores the differences between the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations and the modern Western civilization. Fox argues that the ancient civilizations were more focused on virtue, wisdom, and intellectual pursuits, while the modern civilization is more focused on material wealth, power, and industrialization. He also discusses the impact of Christianity on Western civilization and how it has shaped its values and beliefs. The book provides a detailed analysis of the cultural, philosophical, and historical factors that have influenced the development of these civilizations. It is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reflect on the fundamental differences between the past and present civilizations and their impact on human progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
