Essays On Catholicism, Liberalism And Socialism; Considered In Their Fundamental Principles by Juan Donoso Cortés
Considered In Their Fundamental Principles
A trenchant defense of traditional Catholic social and political order that scathingly critiques both liberalism and socialism as corrosive modern ideologies, arguing that liberal individualism undermines authority and social cohesion while socialist materialism leads to violence and the destruction of property and hierarchy; the essays claim that reason and secular politics alone cannot sustain moral order, insisting that Christian dogma—particularly the doctrines of original sin and transcendental authority—provides the necessary metaphysical foundation for legitimate government, law, and social harmony, and therefore justify strong, even authoritarian, authority to restrain disorder and secure the common good.
