Unadjusted Man
In an Age of Overadjustment
Book •
Peter Viereck's 'Unadjusted Man in an Age of Overadjustment' critiques the tendency of modern society to excessively adapt to technological and social change at the expense of human flourishing.
Wilsey cites Viereck's opening epigram referencing Thoreau to illustrate how technology can begin to 'ride' us rather than serve human ends.
The book argues for preserving moral and cultural anchors amid rapid modernization.
Viereck's conservative humanism informs Wilsey's broader argument about balancing change with permanence.
The work remains a reference point in mid-20th-century conservative cultural critique.
