| | The latter is assumed to be characterised by the importance of science, technological progress, secular civic politics and capitalist economics, all monitored by the nation state. | | | The period saw the rise of all of the key characteristics of capitalist economies, beginning in northern Italian republics such as Genoa. | | | However, there is no agreement and some historians argue that the early modern period continued until later. |

| | For a long time, I have been convinced that we in the West are living near the end of an entire age, the age that began about 500 years ago. | | | The Modern Age has been the age of money -- increasingly so, perhaps reaching its peak around 1900. | | | As happens before or near the end of a great age, the mutations of institutions, societies, mores, and manners involved the very relations of the sexes. |

| | As far as international politics is concerned, Hegel was well aware that any given State was limited by its self-interests, and that those interests were at odds with those of other nations. | | | Didn't Hegel say the modern age is the End of History? | | | Kantians and Irrationalists have often accused Hegel of overestimating Reason: however, these charges do not include a formal critique of Hegel's dialectical logic, and remain unsubstantiated. |

| | NIHILISM by Eugene Rose |
| | This is not an attitude of open hostility nor even of deliberate unconcern, for its sincere apologists undeniably have a genuine regard for what they consider to be truth; rather, it is an attitude in which truth, despite certain appearances, no longer occupied the center of attention. | | | The Old Order has been overthrown, and if a precarious stability is maintained in what is unmistakably an age of "transition,)) a "new order" is clearly in the making; the age of the "rebel" is at hand. | | | We have seen indeed, that logic cannot deny absolute truth without denying itself, the logic that sets itself up against the Christian Revelation is merely the servant of another "revelation," of a false "absolute truth": namely Nihilism. |

| | Moreover, I firmly suspect that when historians have achieved a sufficient detachment, they will begin to look on the Modern Age, with its mountains of corpses sacrificed by wild-eyed utopians at the altar of the State, with a bit less triumphalism than we do. | | | In other words, so-called “radical Islam” or “Islamic fundamentalism” of the new political type is in fact a bastard modernization of authentic Islam, corrupting Islam by the worst of all modern impulses. | | | 2) The Inquisition is not called the Catholic or Christian Inquisition for good reason: it required the mobilization of the Spanish state to operate; and recall that the state is an innovation of modernity. |

| | In looking at the developments of the post-communist European nation, Gray flatly denies this proposition, arguing that these countries would be wise to develop new, non-Western institutions. | | | “I argue that Western liberal institutions not only have no universal claim in theory but also are often flawed in practice...The thesis that the institutions of Western civil society are functionally indispensable to the success of modern economy, though at first sight plausible, is theoretically and historically groundless.” -- John Gray | | | While it is crucial to resist the re-enchantment of the world by new forms of fundamentalism, neither the Left nor the Right in any of their traditional forms are able, according to Gray, to offer a viable alternative. |

| | Since the fascists rejected modernist art and persecuted those who practiced it, the logical conclusion was that artistic modernism stood for freedom of human expression, while traditional art meant the suppression of creative impulses and the destruction of personal liberty. | | | This argument, despite some surface plausibility, is riddled with false assumptions. | | | If classicism were the ideology of history’s villains, we would not find a modern classicism blossoming in the first half of the century in the world’s most enlightened, free, and democratic nations. |
