Ideas Have Consequences is a philisophical work by Richard M. Weaver, published in 1948. The book is largely comprised of a treatise on the effects that the doctrine of nominalism has had on Western Civilization since it gained prominence in the High Middle Ages, followed by a prescription of a course of action through which Weaver believes the West might be rescued from its decline.
