Marion Montgomery describes the loss of truth in our culture and especially in our colleges and universities. What is true has been thrown away, what is fashionable has been embraced. Montgomery offers a very intellectual analysis of the culture of academia and a stirring warning about the effects on our culture of despising what is true. ; Against the modernist belief that truth is subjective, Montgomery promotes a return to classical philosophy and logic. She uncovers a world of academia where meaningless themed classes such as "the Literature of Vampires" have replaced systematic learning. Marion Montgomery also analyzes how this trend has affected our culture as a whole. Anti-intellectualism has even grasped the Catholic culture, and we need to be aware of its presence. Montgomery's writing is academic and heady. You may find it difficult to absorb for long periods of time. However, this is one of those books for which perseverance pays off. The ideas Montgomery presents are absolutely enlightening.; 305 pages; 2 currently in stock;
