In History as Form and Essence, a philosophy of history is presented, relevant to the 21st century, from which a total understanding of modernity and its various forms of expression is possible to attain. The central tenet presented in the book is that the concepts of essence and form has guided every human endeavor troughout history, and that they continueto do so, despit the latent ambition within modernity to re-form every thing, thus denying the existence of essences altogether.This inbalance is manifesting itself in politics, culture and our spiritual life. The author arguesthat the only possible way out of this worldof imbalance is the way of Counter-Revolution, the way of stability and renewal.
