"This deeply prophetic book not only launched the renaissance of philosophical conservatism in this country, but in the process gave us an armory of insights into the diseases besetting the national community that is as timely today as when it first appeared.

It will shock, and philosophical shock is the beginning of wisdom." -Paul Tillich "Richard M.
