A culture built upon the ideology of individual choice is a culture
of alienation, loneliness, and violence. In this provocative book,
A. J. Conyers shows that Western culture was once informed by a
sense of vocation, that men understood life as a response to a call
from outside and above themselves. Conyers reveals with stunning
insight how the quintessential institution of modernity is slavery,
for the slave is the ultimate autonomous individual whose ties to
family, church, and clan are dissolved. Cogently arguing for the
affections that constitute real community, Conyers restores a sense
of vocation and thus what it means to be human.
