Description

The return of the strong gods is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the current state of politics in America and Europe. R. R. Reno argues that the post-war consensus is breaking down, and that the powerful loyalties that bind men to their homeland and to one another are making a comeback. This shift is driven by a growing disillusionment with the open society, which has promoted dogmatic ideologies and destroyed social solidarity rooted in family, faith, and nation. Reno contends that the anti-dogmatic dogmas of the open society have hardened into a set of rigid principles that are eroding the social cohesion that gives life meaning. In contrast, the strong gods of patriotism and loyalty can inspire the best of our traditions and provide a sense of belonging and purpose. This book is a compelling and insightful analysis of the future of the West and the role of nationalism and populism in shaping its destiny. By examining the roots of the current crisis and the potential for a new era of social cohesion, Reno offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the complex issues at the heart of modern politics.
