Viac o knihe

Exploring the philosophical divide between the "City of God" and the "City of Man," Pierre Manent argues that the modern West has chosen human autonomy over divine laws.

Through a nuanced examination of Western intellectual and political conditions, Manent critiques the pursuit of freedom that ultimately disconnects individuals from their inherent humanity.
