Uncover the inner life behind the time-spirit in this thoughtful critique.
This work surveys how modern thought rebels against or renews faith, focusing on how belief shapes society and everyday life. It draws connections between philosophy, religion, and economics to show why spiritual values matter in public reform.
The book analyzes and contrasts ideas from Tolstoy and Nietzsche, then grounds a Catholic approach to social ethics in everyday issues. It argues that true peace and progress come from aligning intellect, will, and faith with divine principles, not from chasing only material success.
- Explanations of how faith and reason interact in modern culture.
- Discussion of economic reform guided by spiritual principles, including the living wage and fair distribution.
- Connections between personal virtue, social justice, and public policy.
- A framework for evaluating cultural trends through the lens of Catholic thought.
Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, social ethics, and Catholic thought who want a practical, faith-informed view of modern life.
