The Failures And Shortcomings Of Modern Political Mora Rotolo

This book gives you great insight into the causes of many of the errors that we are now seeing in U. S. politics. Life is busy with many distractions, so there is not a lot of time for us to reflect on the first principles of political philosophy. Through this book, the author defines and critically evaluates the major political ideologies of the modern period in the light of classical political thought. Drawing on the insights of Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato, and others, he highlights the failures and shortcomings of modern political thought, including the pretensions and fallacies of progressivism, Marxism, and neo-Marxism. In contrast to these ideologies, he develops a vision of politics rooted in a classical and Christian understanding of the human person.
