The declining hold of the Church and its doctrines on European society represents a major shift in Western life and thought. Owen Chadwick“s lectures on the secularization of the European mind trace this movement in the nineteenth century, identifying and exploring both the social and the intellectual aspects of this change.
The rise of technology, the growth of big cities and a cheap press take their place alongside evolutionary science and Marxism in this analysis of the erosion of the Church“s power. Also included are studies of both familiar and neglected thinkers including Marx, Darwin, Mill and Comte.
