In a time of remarkable but selective amnesia in the West reflected
perhaps most dramatically in the denial of the Christian roots of
Europe in the first drafts of the European constitution,
""Understanding Europe"" is as relevant today as it was on its
first appearance in 1952. Christopher Dawson wrote of the
uneasiness that characterized twentieth-century Western
civilization in the aftermath of two disastrous global conflicts
and the attempt to build a new secular civilization on impersonal
economic forces. He desired a unified Europe, but one unified by a
common Christian religion.Recognizing the emphasis on economic
utility and mass productivity in European culture, Dawson argued
that a renewed study of Christian faith and culture was essential
in order to recover the deeper sense of European unity. In
""Understanding Europe"", Dawson expresses a desire for Europe to
rediscover and renew its foundational Christian sources in order to
recover a deeper sense of integrity.This edition includes an
introduction by George Weigel. Other volumes in the Works of
Christopher Dawson series include ""The Making of Europe"",
""Medieval Essays"", and ""Progress and Religion"".
