Architects of the Culture of Death
Book Description The "Culture of Death" has become a popular phrase, and is much bandied about in academic circles. Yet, for most people, its meaning remains vague and remote. DeMarco and Wiker have given the Culture of Death high definition and frightening immediacy. They have exposed its roots by introducing its "architects." In a scholarly, yet reader-friendly delineation of the mindsets of twenty-three influential thinkers, such as Ayn Rand, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger, Jack Kevorkian, and Peter Singer, they make clear the aberrant thought and malevolent intentions that have shaped the Culture of Death. Still, this is not a book without hope. If the Culture of Death rests on a fragmented view of the human being and an eclipse of God, hope for the "Culture of Life" rests on an understanding and restoration of the human being as a person, and the rediscovery of a benevolent God. The "Personalism" of John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through Architects, serving as a hopeful antidote. About The Author Donald De Marco is the author of several books, including The Heart of Virtue. Benjamin Wiker is the author of Moral Darwinism. Reader Reviews The authors have done their research with this one! Each chapter highlights a modern thinker/philosopher who has been immortalized in our culture. Rare facts and shocking informative tidbits about pioneers like Darwin, Freud, Sanger & Kinsey challenge the reader to consider the darker side of these "architects" who have intentionally or inadvertently become apologists or defenders of eugenics, racial genetic engineering, sterilization, infanticide and sexual deviancy like bestiality and pedophelia. A plentitude of references from biographies, autobiographies and articles written by these "architects" reinforce the point and eliminate the "Catholic Bias" rebuttal. I promise any reader will come away challenging their own pre-conceived dispositions on a multitude of modern-day issues. Comment | | (Report this)
