He states that these essays are not new proposals or solutions to today's problems. They are old. They have been tried, and have worked. They have made people happy and good. That is what makes them so radical and so unusual today. The most uncommon thing today is common sense. Kreeft presents relevant, philosophical data that can guide us, divided into 7 categories: epistemological, theological, metaphysical, anthropological, ethical, political, and historical. He then explores these categories with classic Kreeft insights, presenting 40 pithy points on how we can implement the data from these categories to help save civilization;and more importantly, save souls. 606 $aChristianity$xPhilosophy 606 $aCivilization, Western$xChristian influences 608 $aEssays.$2fast 608 $aEssays.$2lcgft 615 0$aChristianity$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xChristian influences. 676 $a230 700 $aKreeft$b Peter$01646232 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814478503321 996 $aHow to destroy Western civilization and other ideas from the cultural abyss$93999433 997 $aUNINA
