Download The Consequences of Ideas: Understanding the Concepts that Shaped Our World AudioBook Free
Sproul's survey of the ongoing impact of history's most influential philosophies urges listeners to consider prevailing social mind-sets seriously...because ideas do have implications. The greatest thinkers of all time are impacting us still. From public-policy decisions and current laws to world happenings, theology, the arts, education, and even interactions between friends, history's most influential philosophies have wrought substantial consequences on nearly everything we see, think, and do. Thus it is important for Christians to comprehend the ideas that are shaping them. The greater their familiarity with the streams of thought that contain saturated European culture through the age groups, the greater their potential to influence this culture for Christ. With The Outcomes of Ideas, R. C. Sproul expertly leads just how for thoughtful visitors. Tracing the contours of Western beliefs from the ancients to the molders of modern and postmodern thought-including Plato, Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, and Freud-Sproul shows that ideas are not only transferring fads; they go through for years to come and demand our serious attention.
