| Summary: | Professor Engelhardt's After God sets out in fine detail a "j'accuse" of the Western project from the medieval Scholastic doctors, through the Enlightenment, to Kant and Hegel, and finally to its telos in postmodernity, which in fact was the logical outcome of what Professor Engelhardt sees as the abuse of reason, for reason could never endure the demands made of it. I propose that Professor Engelhardt is correct in his description of our present epoch, though partially but critically misguided in his diagnosis of why, and thus falls short in a prescription for the restoration of salus. |
