Beschreibung
Modern man, unlike his ancestors, does not see himself as belonging to a civilisation that exists as a continuous stream running down the centuries. Neither does he see himself as belonging to an actual, existent community. He is post-historical and post-communitarian. Modernity has thus created a new kind of human condition, that of the atomised and deracinated individual who is a world unto himself. But according to Sebastian Morello, this novel condition has left us jaded, confused, and traumatised. Unto the Ages of Ages is Morello's invitation to induct ourselves into our own civilisational inheritance, and hence to reclaim our birthright. Amid Morello's scathing analysis of the modern paradigm, he reveals a deep admiration-which is nonetheless not without its severe criticisms-for Western Civilisation in general and for his home country of England in particular. Western Civilisation is foundering because, at the most fundamental level, it is ensnared in a spiritual crisis. According to Morello, those of us who do not wish to be victims of this crisis must first recognise that the dogmas of liberalism, secularism, and progressivism are not binding. In short, we must undergo the challenging task of becoming, in every sense, traditionalists.
