Items related to Architects of the Culture of Death
The phrase, "the Culture of Death", is bandied about as a catch-all term that covers abortion, euthanasia and other attacks on the sanctity of life. In Architects of the Culture of Death, authors Donald DeMarco and Benjamin Wiker expose the Culture of Death as an intentional and malevolent ideology promoted by influential thinkers who specifically attack Christian morality's core belief in the sanctity of human life and the existence of man's immortal soul. In scholarly, yet reader-friendly prose, DeMarco and Wiker examine the roots of the Culture of Death by introducing 23 of its architects, including Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer.
Still, this is not a book without hope. If the Culture of Death rests on a fragmented view of the person and an eclipse of God, the future of the Culture of Life relies on an understanding and restoration of the human being as a person, and the rediscovery of a benevolent God. The personalism of John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through Architects, serving as a hopeful antidote.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. This book resembles in construction Paul Johnson's Intellectuals, an expose of inspirers of the modern age such as Rousseau, Marx, and Sartre and which has as its premise that those who claim to be teachers of mankind should have their own lives subject to inspection (how did their philosophy issue in their own conduct?). Architects of the Culture of Death quite clearly distinguishes (as has the Christian tradition since the New Testament and the Didache, in their own ways) a culture of life and a culture of death, and seeks to cast light on 23 pivotal figures who have significantly shaped our contemporary moral climate of opinion. In short essays that biographically and philosophically describe key figures (Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, Darwin, Francis Galton, Marx, Comte, Sartre, Freud, Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, Alan Guttmacher, Derek Humphrey, Jack Kevorkian, Peter Singer and others) the authors throw the two cultures into sharp relief, in the realms of the sources of morality, euthanasia, eugenics, sexual ethics, and utopianism. The protests to this kind of cri de couer can be easily anticipated -- ''ad hominem argument,'' ''simplistic,'' ''Catholic ideology''-- but the sordid commonality of the subjects examined is inescapable. A bracing diagnosis and challenge. Seller Inventory # 32112
