Definitely not recommended, only for hardcore anti-modernists. (ie reactionaries)
Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man. I think it lays out a pretty succinct overview of the ethics involved in building any system in a wholistic manner. He changed his statements later to say that “the quality without a name” is, in fact, wholeness.
Not my personal view. Antimodernism became the dominant reactionary worldview in Anglo-Saxon countries. Alexander is at the top of this pole.

That’s fine. But the book is definitely not just for “anti-modernists.”
