Out of the Ashes
Out of the Ashes: A Layman's Guide to Rebuilding American Culture | Anthony Esolen
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
It's not your imagination: civilized human society is collapsing. Communities no longer work towards a common good; children are no longer our first priority; businesses no longer value "hard work"; arts and skills have been lost; and gender is decided by the individual, not biology. We cannot reverse national and global trends, says professor Anthony Esolen; but we can build communities that live up to humanity's promise and responsibility. In Out of the Ashes, Esolen identifies the gaping problems in our society and lays out a blueprint for reconstruction that puts our future in the hands of individuals focused on the good of the local community.

I thought it was great. Blunt, and if you‘re not already at least leaning toward anti-culture and classical education, it will probably rub you the wrong way. I‘ve got a thing for beauty and truth and wisdom, and this book does too. As much as it disparages modern society, it‘s full of hope, which was my favorite part.

Good common sense...or at least good sense, now uncommon.
