The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times
The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times is a 1945 book by the French intellectual René Guénon, in which the author purports to give a comprehensive explanation, based on tradition, of the cyclical conditions that led to the modern world in general and to the Second World War in particular. The book was published with the support of Jean Paulhan from Gallimard, who created a collection exclusively dedicated to "Tradition" in order to publish Guénon.
