More about the book
Exploring the philosophical divide between the "City of God" and the "City of Man," Pierre Manent argues that the modern West has chosen human autonomy over divine laws. This decision, he suggests, has led to a profound loss of understanding regarding human nature. Through a nuanced examination of Western intellectual and political conditions, Manent critiques the pursuit of freedom that ultimately disconnects individuals from their inherent humanity.
