1. Revolt Against Modernity
Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin, and the Search for a Postliberal Order
The book examines the intellectual and cultural tensions between traditionalism and modernity in American thought, focusing on the mid-20th century. It explores how certain conservative thinkers responded to the rapid changes brought about by modernity, such as technological advancements and shifts in social norms, which they perceived as threats to established values and social structures. Through a detailed analysis of these thinkers' works and ideas, the book highlights the ongoing struggle to reconcile the desire for progress with the preservation of cultural and moral traditions.
