Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Part polemic, part history, part manifesto but all moaning. I don't even know what the author is trying to convince me of, other than that the world was built by Christians. I think it's telling how far back he has to reach for examples and the only modern people he keeps quoting are the popes. Still what does that prove? It's like saying the world was created by humans who believed in the theory of 4 humours. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Western civilization's genius is in its synthesis of reason and faith. These foundations are under assault today from Islamists and radical secularists. Unless Western society recovers its confidence in this synthesis and its capacity to magnify human freedom and achievement, our future is limited. This sharp commentary on the rise and current decline of Western Civilization touches on historical moments-including the building of early universities in the Middle Ages and the American Revolution-and figures-including Augustine, Acquinas, Edmund Burke, and Adam Smith-that exemplify the faith-reason synthesis at the heart of Western Civilization, as well as the modern villains that threaten to destroy it.
