Synopsis "The Present Time - Imperium Press (Studies in Reaction)"

In The Present Time, Carlyle takes aim at modernity. This essay was, even in its time, seen as so blistering that the Southern Literary Messenger described its contents as "purely monstrous, and the most elaborate argument would not place their monstrosity more clearly before the reader, than the simple enunciation of them." We present it here with another of Carlyle's essays.Carlyle influenced not only fascism but socialism, and in The Modern Worker he grants the worker his essential nobility and savagely critiques laissez-faire economics. He folds his anti-capitalism into the critique of modernity given in The Present Time-whatever system man places himself under, it must conform to "a set of conditions already voted for, and fixed with adamantine rigour by the ancient Elemental Powers."As Carlyle is known for coinages and obscure references, this volume offers a comprehensive glossary of terms. For many readers, this will be the first time they have fully grasped this titanic intellect.

Thomas Carlyle (Thomas Carlyle, nacido el 4 de diciembre de 1795 en Ecclefechan, Escocia, y fallecido el 5 de febrero de 1881 en Londres) fue un ensayista, historiador y pensador clave de la era victoriana. Formado en la Universidad de Edimburgo, inició su carrera como profesor antes de consolidarse como escritor. Su obra se caracteriza por un estilo denso y retórico, así como por su visión crítica de la sociedad industrial y su interés en el liderazgo moral y espiritual. Fue una figura influyente en el pensamiento del siglo XIX, con una fuerte presencia en los debates intelectuales de su tiempo.

Entre sus obras más destacadas se encuentran Sartor Resartus, The French Revolution: A History y On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History (conocido en español como Los héroes), donde desarrolla su teoría del “gran hombre” como motor de la historia. Sus escritos influyeron en autores posteriores y en corrientes de pensamiento político y filosófico, aunque también generaron controversia por sus posturas conservadoras. Su legado permanece como una referencia compleja dentro del ensayo histórico y la crítica social.
