Wreck of Western Culture, The : Humanism Revisited
Overview: In this sweeping and brilliantly provocative book, eminent sociologist as the author articulates a discruptive and compelling alternative narrative of the course of Western civilization since the Renaissance and the Reformation. Humanism is commonly credited with building Western civilization as we know it - bringing about the liberation of the individual, democracy, universal rights, and widespread prosperity and comfort. But the author turns received wisdom on its head in this book, arguing that "the great five-hundred-year Humanist experiment to found an entirely secular culture on earth" has been an abject failure.
