Post WWI Intellectual Climate in Europe


After the post-WWI intellectual climate of social theory, Christian and Jewish theological traditions provided an alternative to the cold rationalism that came to be associated with scientific trajectories of Marxism and Kantianism.

Instead, Adornos the political and economic climate began to change in Europe so does the intellectual ideas of the people.  European countries channeled all of their resources into total war which resulted in enormous social change. The result of working together for a common goal seemed to be unifying European societies.

Winston Churchill who created the Council de l' Europe is very much responsible for creating the strong forces that are implemented today.  Winston Churchill has been very instrumental in unifying Europe as a whole.  He (Churchill) created a democracy without a dividing line, as well as stating that Europe will be united on the basis of the shared failure and the death penalty is no longer in existence today.

The citizens began to create strong forces that were shaping the power and legal status of labor unions, too. The right of workers to organize was relatively new, about half a century. Employers fought to keep union organizers out of their plants and armed force was often used against striking workers.
