“This book aims to provide nothing less than a full-throated defense of moral and political sanity against the latest eruptions of ideological mendacity in our time. Its thesis is simple enough, but it needs the full resources of applied political philosophy to explain with adequate clarity and depth. The thesis? That the ‘ideological’ project to replace the only human condition we know with a utopian ‘Second Reality,’ oblivious to (indeed at war with) the deepest wellsprings of human nature and God’s creation has taken on renewed virulence in the late modern world, just 35 years after the glorious anti-totalitarian revolutions of 1989. This was not supposed to happen. [excerpted from The Persistence of the Ideological Lie: The Totalitarian Impulse Then and Now].” (04/11/25)
