Confusion in the West: Retrieving Tradition in the Modern and Post-Modern World
In their trenchant panoramic overview – ranging from antiquity to the present-day – John and Anna Rist write with authority and ennui about nothing less than the loss of the foundational culture of the West. The authors characterize this culture as the 'original tradition', viewing its erosion as one which has led to anxiety about the entire value of Western thought. The causes of the disintegration are discussed with an intensity rare in academe…
A Fresh Look at Herodas' Bucolic Masquerade
