Hardback. Condizione: Good. Will our future imitate our past?  "The purpose of this book is threefold: to explain what makes civilization civilization what it is; to show what we are in danger of losing in the event of collapse, and to point the way toward renewal." There is a consensus in the West that something is wrong. Many people have the uneasy feeling that the liberal democratic order is in danger, and that civilization itself hangs in the balance. This feeling could be dismissed as alarmism, but the present moment of pandemic, political instability, and rioting is a startling reminder of the fragility of civilization everywhere. And we should never forget that empires and societies have collapsed many times before. But history shows that human civilization also has extraordinary powers of recuperation, writes Michael R.J. Bonner in this bracing tour de force. Drawing on such examples as the revival of Europe after the collapse of the Roman Empire, and the ebb and flow of civilization in China despite repeated foreign conquest, he shows how humankind's quest for clarity, order, and beauty'the crucial elements of civilization'does not necessarily succeed through innovation or a futuristic orientation, but by thoughtful examination and imitation of past experience.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Cold War struggle against Soviet communism is over, but a new conflict one within liberal democracy itself has taken its place.Contemporary liberalism is in a bad way. But most advanced thinkers misdiagnose the problem. Few can see that liberalism, like any other ideology, suffers from tensions and contradictions that threaten it from within.While malign actors attack liberalism from the outside, the real conflict, full of antithetical freedoms and individualities, has turned into a kind of liberal civil war. Liberals today struggle to maintain cohesiveness within the party and to effectively communicate their value proposition to voters. A large part of the problem is that the origin of liberalism and the main assumptions about human freedom that nourished it have been obscured orforgotten over time.In The Crisis of Liberalism, Michael R.J. Bonner proposes that a renewed understanding of freedom its philosophical and theological foundations can point the way out of the present mess and give voters and liberal adherents overall a stronger understanding of what theyre fighting for.
