Sacred Order/social Order v. 2; Crisis of the Officer Class- The Decline of the Tragic Sensibility

Philip Rieff earned recognition as one of the most profound social theorists of culture. Through such works as ""Freud: The Mind of the Moralist"", he proved himself an incisive interpreter of Freud and his legacy. Here, he elaborates on his critique of our culture as distinguishable only by its rejection of any and all visions of sacred order.
