The Common Mind traces the theme of the sensus communis, inherited
from the medievals, through the lives and writings of twelve
literary figures in the modern age, ranging from Thomas More and
Jonathan Swift to C. S. Lewis and Russell Kirk. It is this quality,
argues the author, which, like natural law, serves as the bedrock
of orthodoxy, of social and political order, and which, by its
presence or absence, determines the nature of every society. The
Common Mind is an altogether uncommon achievement: a rich,
multivalent reading of our present cultural condition through a
brilliant procession of literary portraits; and a critical work in
the ongoing effort to recover a unity of life, of understanding, of
principles--in short, a common mind.
