Ideological warfare against authority, especially in the world
of higher education, broke out in the 1960s, and continues into the
1990s. No source or symbol of authority escaped untouched--neither
parents nor teachers nor the cop on the beat. While the hippies
have gone underground or disappeared entirely, the assault on
legitimate authority continues unabated. As familiar institutions
crumble before our eyes, befuddled liberals and conservatives alike
throw up their hands in despair. In Authority and Its Enemies,
Thomas Molnar asserts that the Western world is reeling from an
overdose of freedom without order or authority. "Prof. Molnar's
densely written book demands concentration. . . . In the much
needed debate over this large, complex problem of authority in
family, church, school, and state Prof. Molnar makes a sobering,
closely reasoned presentation of a conservative view. That is a
contribution." -- Edmund Fuller, The Wall Street Journal
"Once more Professor Molnar displays the clear-headedness and
prescience we have come to expect from him as an analyst of the
cultural and political plight of the Western world today." -- David
Levy, The Alternative: An American Spectator
"From the pen of Dr. Thomas Molnar now comes a new and
important book on authority in American society. Authority is one
of those fundamental realities that we all know perfectly
well--until we try to define it and explain it. A brilliant and
reliable philosopher, Dr. Molnar has the exceptional ability to do
both." --Kenneth Baker. S. J., Homiletic and Pastoral Review
