Product Description:
This work describes how four thinkers -- Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Camus, and Voegelin -- were able to confront secular messianism and find the means of overcoming it so that what they eventually formulated was, essentially, a form of philosophic Christianity.

David Walsh's AFTER IDEOLOGY is a fantastic piece of work. It comes closer to being the book I have been looking for than anything I have yet read. It almost overwhelms me. Unfortunately, he attempts to do the impossible: Present the Answers about man which are available in theology and imperative for true human fulfillment and happiness - in the language of philosophy.

David Walsh provides an essential meditation on this rather destructive century. Through his masterful dissection of the life and work of such prescient minds as Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Camus, and Voegelin, Walsh articulates a visionary understanding of the importance -- at the close of this millennium -- of recovering the spiritual foundations of freedom. Walsh offers an excellent diagnosis on the dead end of "modernity" coupled with a prescription for healing the afflictions of the modern soul -- to ascend ... Read More
