About eighty-five years ago, philosophers and literary
intellectuals as diverse as Edmund Husserl, George Santayana, and
Paul ValZry, aware of the declining influence of Christianity,
spoke of 'the crisis of Western civilization.' In Wretched
Aristotle: Using the Past to Rescue the Future, Jude P. Dougherty
offers an intriguing reexamination of this crisis in contemporary
times. Situating his argument in the context of ongoing debate
concerning the nature of the public philosophy that underpins ideas
of freedom, Dougherty identifies the essential features of Western
culture through a series of interrelated essays. Each essay
reinforces the idea that modernity cannot be understood apart from
its break with classical antiquity. Wretched Aristotle offers a
refreshing historical approach to this issue that will make it
appealing to those interested in the mutual influence of science
and culture and the role of religion in culture.
