{"product_id":"time-and-western-man-wyndham-lewis-9781025440194","title":"Time and Western Man","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Time and Western Man\" is a seminal work of 20th-century cultural and philosophical criticism by the polymath \u003cb\u003eWyndham Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e. In this ambitious and provocative volume, Lewis launches a sweeping attack on the \"time-philosophy\" that he saw dominating contemporary thought, literature, and art during the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining the works of influential figures such as Henri Bergson, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein, Lewis explores how an obsession with temporal flux and psychological interiority threatened to erode the stable, spatial values of Western civilization. The book serves as a foundational text for understanding the \u003ci\u003eVorticist\u003c\/i\u003e movement and the broader intellectual landscape of high Modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLewis argues for a return to clarity, objective reality, and the visual intellect, positioning himself against the subjective \"stream of consciousness\" that characterized much of the era's avant-garde production. Part philosophical treatise and part literary polemic, \"Time and Western Man\" remains a vital resource for scholars and readers interested in the intersection of philosophy, aesthetics, and social theory. Its rigorous examination of how concepts of time shape human identity and artistic expression continues to resonate in modern discussions regarding the nature of reality and the role of the artist in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
