Synopsis

It's not your imagination: civilized human society is collapsing. Communities no longer work towards a common good; children are no longer our first priority; businesses no longer value "hard work"; arts and skills have been lost; and gender is decided by the individual, not biology. We cannot reverse national and global trends, says professor Anthony Esolen; but we can build communities that live up to humanity's promise and responsibility. In Out of the Ashes, Esolen identifies the gaping problems in our society and lays out a blueprint for reconstruction that puts our future in the hands of individuals focused on the good of the local community.

Goodreads review by raffaela on April 27, 2021

Conservatives (or at least, a certain subset of conservatives) have the unfortunate tendency to surrender without a fight on almost any and every cultural issue. Esolen is not one of those conservatives. Not content to stay in the small and skrinking corner Christians are allowed in the public squar......more
