You will discover practical antidotes for overcoming nihilism, social isolation, and relativism and will also come to grasp:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•The main principles of the four “big movements” in philosophy \u003cbr\u003e•The relationship between faith and reason, from medieval philosophy to the present \u003cbr\u003e•The lasting effects of the Enlightenment \u003cbr\u003e•The fatal flaws of postmodernist views on the dignity of the human person, contemporary art, and politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe can’t go backward to either a medieval or Enlightenment worldview, Angel argues, because the postmodern genie is out of the bottle. But take courage, for you have been created to live in these times. In our era of deconstruction, you can hold fast to the light amid the gathering darkness, draw upon the important lessons of the past, and reground yourself in order to flourish.
