As a cure for modernity's individualism, Remi Brague urges a return to medieval thinking to illustrate why humanity and civilizations are goods worth promoting and preserving.

Dieses Buch bietet eine systematische Darstellung des christlichen Menschenbildes, wie es in der Moderne möglich und vielleicht auch nötig ist.

Remi Brague argues that with the dawn of the Enlightenment, Western society has rejected traditional theophilosphical ideas in favor of human authority and autonomy, ultimately causing the erasure of divinely ordered humanity.

In his first book composed in English, Rémi Brague maintains that there is a fundamental problem with modernity: we no longer consider the created world and humanity as intrinsically valuable. Curing Mad Truths, based on a number of Brague's lectures to English-speaking audiences, explores the idea that humanity must return to the Middle Ages. Not the Middle Ages of purported backwardness and barbarism, but rather a Middle Ages that understood...

Was humanity created, or do humans create themselves? In this eagerly awaited English translation of Le Règne de l'homme, the last volume of Rémi Brague's trilogy on the philosophical development of anthropology in the West, Brague argues that with the dawn of the Enlightenment, Western societies rejected the transcendence of the past and looked instead to the progress fostered by the early modern present and the future. As scientific advances...

La nostra epoca sembra caratterizzata da un senso di stanchezza e di scetticismo nei confronti della storia umana: anche il tentativo di rintracciare in essa dei barlumi di senso o dei motivi di speranza è considerato ingenuo. In questo libro in forma di intervista uno dei maggiori pensatori viventi, Rémi Brague, riflette criticamente su tale atteggiamento, contestando molti stereotipi circa il rapporto di noi "postmoderni" con le nostre radic...

Metaphysik ist kein Phantom. Sie bewohnt kein Wolkenschloss, sondern hat ihren Platz mitten im Alltag der Menschen und ist zu einer unverzichtbaren Lebensnotwendigkeit geworden. Denn nachdem der Mensch das Projekt der Moderne in die Tat umgesetzt und sein Geschick selbst in die Hand genommen hat, kann er frei entscheiden, zu sein - oder auch nicht zu sein: Die Entscheidung über Fortbestand oder Auslöschung der Menschheit liegt in seinen Händen...

Europa besitzt keine Identität im Sinne eines kulturellen oder religiösen Erbes, sondern definiert sich durch seine Spannung zwischen einer Klassik der Anderen, die es anzueignen, und einer Barbarei im Inneren, die es zu überwinden gilt. Das Besondere der europäischen Identität liegt in ihrer ‚kulturellen Zweitrangigkeit‘: in dem Wissen, nicht ursprünglich zu sein, sondern vor sich Anderes, Früheres zu haben – kulturell die griechische Antike,...

Imagine you suddenly find yourself in the control room of a vast technological apparatus, sometime in the future, where you are told that science has satisfied all the needs of all living humans. Furthermore, you learn, the next generation of the species will not be produced in the usual way, but instead by this machine, provided only that somebody push a little red button. The catch: you have to give a reason for pushing it. You hesitate: wha...

When the ancient Greeks looked up into the heavens, they saw not just sun and moon, stars and planets, but a complete, coherent universe, a model of the Good that could serve as a guide to a better life. How this view of the world came to be, and how we lost it (or turned away from it) on the way to becoming modern, make for a fascinating story, told in a highly accessible manner by Remi Brague in this wide-ranging cultural history.Before the ...

La metafisica sembra non trovare casa nelle coscienze e nelle società moderne, che la vedono come un'eterea e inattuale sovrastruttura sovrapposta alla sola vera realtà, quella di cui le scienze ci forniscono una conoscenza sempre più esatta. L'unica base reale, si dice, è la natura, sulla quale è possibile edificare un'unica struttura: la società umana, cioè l'associazione degli uomini secondo regole che permettano lo sviluppo di tutti. Il re...
