Sacred Order/Social Order Volume II

Philip Rieff earned recognition as one of the most profound social theorists of culture and authority of the twentieth century. Through such works as "Freud: The Mind of the Moralist" and "The Triumph of the Therapeutic," he proved himself an incisive interpreter of Freud and his legacy. His work now culminates with the long-awaited trilogy, "Sacred Order/Social Order," a three-volume work on social theory and contemporary culture.In Volume 2, "The Crisis of the Officer Class: The Death of the Tragic Sensibility," Phillip Rieff continues his assault against the deathworks of our modern age. Invoking his theory developed in Volume 1, he develops his critique of our current culture as distinguishable only by its rejection of any and all visions of sacred order.Rieff, Philip is the author of 'Sacred Order/Social Order Volume II', published 2008 under ISBN 9780813926766 and ISBN 0813926769.
