The revelation of Ruskin's treatises' strengths through this
analytical pause (the subject) helps contemporary architects adopt the
principles that Ruskin advocated, especially in the field of ethics. Most
critics of architecture agree that Ruskin has a positive impact on architecture
just as he hurts it. His treatises are sometimes superficial, extremist, and
individualistic, and they oppose one of them to the other, which leads some
critics to attack him harshly and stand against him. Ruskin lived in a crowded
with different intellectual and sometimes contradictory climates and saw many
thoughts, politics, sociology, science, and industry changes. Ruskin was only
the victim of ideological dualism, which caused some of his treatises'
contradiction and superficiality despite others' depth. Ruskin's theoretical
aspect was not complete with the practical aspect because he never cared about
applied arts. Ruskin represented what might be called a "man of
letters," interested in many diverse topics, such as the diversity of
human life itself. The aim is to reveal contradictions and superficiality,
specifically those implied in the chapter of "Lamp of Truth," and
return them to the duality of his ideology, the gap between theory and practice
that he suffers from, or both. This chapter is not an attempt to seek excuses
for Ruskin. Still, an effort to understand his treatises, thus enabling the man
not to be enthusiastic to all his treatises without discrimination for the
reference of any of them and vice versa be entirely opposed. The climate of the
petty bourgeoisie justifies many of his reactionary ideas in his refusal to use
new materials and his separation of architecture from construction. Thus, he is
the son of his ideology, unlike his proposals that dealt with honesty from an
internal view in isolation from reality and its ideologies. The internal view
of Ruskin's thoughts enables a profit gained from those who are immortal, which
makes him considered among the great philosophers and thinkers of different
ages and eras.
