The Age Of Great Cities

The Age of Great Cities: Or Modern Civilization Viewed in Its Relation to Intelligence, Morals and Religion is a book written by Robert Vaughan in 1843. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of modern civilization and its impact on intelligence, morals, and religion. Vaughan argues that the rise of great cities is a significant development in human history, but it has also brought about various challenges, including social inequality, moral decay, and religious skepticism.The book is divided into three sections, each of which explores a different aspect of modern civilization. The first section focuses on the intellectual and scientific advancements that have occurred in the modern era. Vaughan argues that these advancements have led to an increase in knowledge and understanding, but they have also created a sense of intellectual pride and arrogance.The second section of the book examines the moral implications of modern civilization. Vaughan argues that the rise of great cities has led to a decline in moral values and an increase in vice and corruption. He suggests that this decline is due to the lack of religious influence in modern society.The final section of the book explores the relationship between modern civilization and religion. Vaughan argues that religion is essential for the moral and spiritual well-being of individuals and society as a whole. He suggests that the decline of religion in modern society is a significant cause of the moral decay and social inequality that we see today.Overall, The Age of Great Cities is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of modern civilization and its impact on intelligence, morals, and religion. Vaughan's arguments are well-researched and supported by historical evidence, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of civilization and the challenges facing modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
