Description

Explore the deep intellectual roots of the modern West with The City of Man by Pierre Manent. Part of the New French Thought Series from Princeton University Press, this book examines the profound choice between the City of God and the City of Man. Manent traces how the modern West has moved toward human autonomy, moving away from the laws of God and nature. This wide-ranging study analyzes our current political and intellectual condition. Manent argues that the pursuit of total freedom has led to a paradox where, in trying to become truly autonomous, we have lost our understanding of what it means to be human. By examining the development of the social sciences, the book provides a serious look at the foundations of our modern society. This is an essential read for anyone interested in world history, civilization, and the philosophical shifts that define our era.
