The Right Side of History
How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great
Book • 2019
In this book, Ben Shapiro argues that Western civilization is experiencing a crisis due to the abandonment of Judeo-Christian values and the Greek-born faculty of reason.
He contends that these values, which have shaped Western society, are being replaced by hedonism, materialism, and moral subjectivism.
Shapiro traces the history of Western thought over 3,500 years, highlighting the contributions of philosophers and the impact of these values on science, human rights, prosperity, and peace.
He emphasizes the need to return to these foundational values to reverse the decline of Western civilization and maintain its greatness.
