By Pierre Manent
Foreword by Jean Bethke Elshtain
(Princeton University Press, 2000)

In this subtle and wide-ranging book on the Western intellectual and political condition, Manent argues that the West has rejected the laws of God and of nature in a quest for human autonomy, and in doing so have lost a sense of what it means to be human.
