All of John Ruskin's Philosophy
A Victorian art critic got banned for saying the economy was broken. Turns out he predicted climate change, worker alienation, and our entire modern catastrophe—in 1860.
John Ruskin was called insane for claiming "there is no wealth but life." He was right. This is his complete philosophy, the dangerous parts included.
Why it matters now: We're living through exactly what he warned about. The question is whether his insights can help us—or whether they're too entangled with his authoritarian politics to save.
