Authentic Humanism and the Crisis of Culture

Every civilisation is shaped by a religious impulse, something fundamental to and inseparable from human nature, and civilisations wither when this impulse is smothered or suppressed. In the twentieth century, and perhaps even more in the twenty-first, we have seen that nexus between Religion and Culture, between Faith and Reason, challenged by tyrannical forces - on both the Right and the Left. Not only is the belief in God as our ultimate reality widely denied, but our confidence in objective truth, goodness and beauty has been dealt a near fatal blow by the soul-destroying elitists who too oftendominate education. The wonderful essays in this book seek to turn the tables on them and regain the high ground!
