Description

G. R. G. Mure’s Retreat from Truth (1958) is a profound philosophical exploration of the decline of objective thinking in modern times. Mure examines the tendencies in contemporary philosophy that move away from classical rationalism and metaphysical inquiry toward subjectivism and relativism. Through critical engagement with major thinkers and schools of thought, he defends the enduring value of truth, logic, and philosophical reasoning. Written in a lucid and rigorous style, the book reflects Mure’s deep engagement with Hegelian philosophy and his concern for preserving intellectual integrity in an age of skepticism. It remains a significant contribution to twentieth-century philosophical discourse.
