"Nihilism" by Eugene (Fr. Seraphim) Rose

[Ephrem]

I just wanted to link this for everyone. It was written by Fr. Seraphim of Platina before he became a monk. It is part of a larger, uncompleted work, entitled The Kingdom of Man and the Kingdom of God. This section, which is really only one chapter from that work, has been published by St. Herman Press under the title Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age.
It is only fair to point out that Fr. Seraphim was asked during his life by another monk to publish this work, but decided not to. That being said, it is still a very sober assessment of modernity, written by a man who went on to write several other books that were equally sober and critical of the condition of modern man.

Thanks Ephrem. I have an E-Reader and love to download such sources. If you have more, please share. It's been awhile since I read this but it's good to refresh.

I love his works. And I'm so disappointed that I can't find a copy of his book on Genesis, Creation and Modern Man. That's the only book I haven't read yet...from him. If only someone can post a PDF file of it. I would be so grateful.

I'll see if I can get a hold of a copy and mail it to you.

Cyprian,

That is very generous of you to offer. But, I don't want you to put yourself out.
