Reviewing Books that Build Culture

A Modern Dostoyevsky–Almost

“Knausgaard’s latest novel… is perhaps the closest we can hope to come to Dostoevsky this side of nineteenth century Russia.”

Kirk and Del Noce: Two Philosophers Connected through History

“The connections between Del Noce and Kirk provide fresh insights to wade through today’s cultural, philosophical, and political upheavals.”

Liberal Education in the Progressive University

“In opposition to much of the postmodern academy, Drees puts forward the quest for objective knowledge as the standard for responsible scholarship.”

The Inspiration We Need

The Inspiration We Need

“In sharing their beautiful journeys towards becoming Catholic, these theologians teach us that conversion is not a ‘process’ in the manner of producing a machine. Rather, choosing to embrace the Lord is the climactic moment of a love story that features God as the lover and us as the beloved.”

A Very American Historian

A Very American Historian

“,,,the South had something to teach other Americans, especially those Americans of the twentieth century who had an ‘oversized faith in American progress, American prosperity, and American invincibility.’ At least that was the idea of this ‘idea man’ as he dwelt on both the ‘irony’ and the ‘burden’ of southern history.”

Why We Need Beauty

Why We Need Beauty

“This is an erudite and beautifully written book about a neglected thinker who deserves more attention in this age of ugliness and vulgarity.”

Where Is Home?

“…’Who will keep our stories alive, no matter where we go?’ Perhaps that is a question even more poignant than ‘Where is home?’ especially for those who are either dispossessed of a homeland or simply feel rootless in a thousand small ways as they struggle to navigate this dizzyingly complex world.”

Russell Kirk vs. Fusionism: A Conflict in Name Only?

Russell Kirk vs. Fusionism: A Conflict in Name Only?

“Kirk called ideology the ‘negation of prudence’ and the ‘foe of imagination.’ Both prudence and imagination are key ideas in Kirk’s political thought. For him, prudence is the preeminent political virtue, and all good politics is inspired by the moral imagination.”
