This Book

 

This book reframes and redefines the battle between good and evil, truth and falsity, rationality and irrationality, civilization and barbarism. It does it so cleanly, cleverly, and perspicaciously that it makes this crucial war much easier to win.

Describing the fundamental worldwide battle as "liberalism vs. conservatism vs. progressivism" allows both the intellectuals and the masses to understand far better the nature of the current war in the West. It deals a telling blow to illiberal philosophy and puts the illiberals back on their heels.

Before, it was just a tiny, isolated group of oddball Objectivists against the whole world. And most of the best and strongest of them were a bunch of weird, idiosyncratic, malicious cultists. These mediocre liberals didn’t offer much in the way of virtue or vigor.

But now there are whole armies of intellectuals, organizations, and historical eras on the side of liberalism. All the good and great liberal thinkers and champions of Greece, Rome, the Renaissance, and the Enlightenment are now successfully recruited to the side of the good guys. And these highly effective intellectual and cultural warriors are ready, willing, and able to fight. Let the battle begin!

The conservo-progessive enemies and villains were vulnerable and weak all along. But now the philosophical smallness and helplessness of these insects and monsters is much more noticeable. This book discourages and dispirits the bad guys while empowering and energizing the good ones. The pivotable war for the soul and future of mankind is now much more winnable.
