Title: Steps toward restoration
Description: In a century wracked by wars and cultural upheaval, many ideas have been offered as solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Yet few have proved as long-lived - or as propheticas those found in Richard Weaver's critique of modernity, Ideas Have Consequences. In this new collection of essays, nine esteemed scholars employ Weaver's own vision of history to view our age from a new perspective.

Such a vantage allows us to see both Western culture at the turn of the millennium and Weaver's great work of intellectual history in sharper relief than ever before. What we discover is that the ideas that animated Weaver in the year of the book's publication, 1948, still intrigue his intellectual heirs today.
