Society no longer encourages wonder or spending time pondering the big questions of life. Indeed, the childlike gifts of curiosity and gratitude have been trampled over by technology and benumbed by complacency.
In these engaging pages, Bobby Angel reveals how and why your life has meaning. Drawing from major thinkers from ancient to modern times, personal stories, historical lessons, and popular movies, he assists the layperson in absorbing vital philosophical concepts in an easily digestible way.
As you learn to examine how your thinking defines you, you will awaken from the widespread postmodern slumber in which we collectively find ourselves and learn to navigate life boldly in our strange world. By sharing his unique perspective, Angel aims to revive the joy of contemplating the good, the true, and the beautiful with Christ as the prism. You will discover practical antidotes for overcoming nihilism, social isolation, and relativism and will also come to grasp:
- The main principles of the four "big movements" in philosophy
- The relationship between faith and reason, from medieval philosophy to the present
- The lasting effects of the Enlightenment
- The fatal flaws of postmodernist views on the dignity of the human person, contemporary art, and politics
We can't go backward to either a medieval or Enlightenment worldview, Angel argues, because the postmodern genie is out of the bottle. But take courage, for you have been created to live in these times. In our era of deconstruction, you can hold fast to the light amid the gathering darkness, draw upon the important lessons of the past, and reground yourself in order to flourish. The human blueprint is not destroyed. God is not dead. The truth has not been eradicated.
