具体描述

America has a God-shaped hole in its heart, argues New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro, and we shouldn't fill it with politics and hate.

In 2016, Ben Shapiro spoke at UC Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required from 10 UC campuses across the state to protect his speech, which was -- ironically -- about the necessity for free speech and rational debate.

He came to argue that Western Civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas. Our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God’s image and that human beings were created with reason capable of exploring God’s world.

We can thank these values for the birth of science, the dream of progress, human rights, prosperity, peace, and artistic beauty. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty and gave billions spiritual purpose. Jerusalem and Athens were the foundations of the Magna Carta and the Treaty of Westphalia; they were the foundations of Declaration of Independence, Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail.

Civilizations that rejected Jerusalem and Athens have collapsed into dust. The USSR rejected Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, substituting a new utopian vision of “social justice” – and they starved and slaughtered tens of millions of human beings. The Nazis rejected Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, and they shoved children into gas chambers. Venezuela rejects Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, and citizens of their oil-rich nation have been reduced to eating dogs.

We are in the process of abandoning Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, favoring instead moral subjectivism and the rule of passion. And we are watching our civilization collapse into age-old tribalism, individualistic hedonism, and moral subjectivism. We believe we can reject Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law and satisfy ourselves with intersectionality, or scientific materialism, or progressive politics, or authoritarian governance, or nationalistic solidarity.

We can’t.

The West is special, and in The Right Side of History, Ben Shapiro bravely explains that it’s because too many of us have lost sight of the moral purpose that drives us each to be better, or the sacred duty to work together for the greater good, or both. A stark warning, and a call to spiritual arms, this book may be the first step in getting our civilization back on track.

##作者是保守派的政治评论家,在这本书里详细的讨论了耶路撒冷和雅典两大道统,以此发展出的宗教基因、文化传承、价值观,通过梳理西方思想史的脉络,评述了西方文明是怎么强大起来的,驳斥了20世纪以来的新启蒙运动,自由主义等左派思潮,尤其是对近年来美国出现的很多“白左”现象,比如过度的平权,福利和政治正确等,不过作者也没拿出什么实际的办法……虽然对作者一些言论并不赞同,他的思维系统和逻辑还是很有启发,值得一读

##匆匆读了开头结尾,没想到这书在豆瓣评分这么高??

##耶路撒冷和雅典,寓表超然啟示和理性探求,乃西方文明的兩大柱石。另一種風味的西方哲學史梳理。學到的新知識,是新左派政治理念的來由和本質。不過,讀完以後,對於咱這種不學無術未開化想當然、頭髮短見識也不長的升斗小民,在豆瓣各種熱點議題上,依然插不上話~[攤手]

##非常精彩 捍卫西方文明的力作
