Summary:
The book explores the philosophical and religious foundations that have shaped Western civilization, arguing that Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law have underpinned the development of democracy, science, and human rights. It contends that the abandonment of these principles is leading to cultural decay and advocates for a return to these core ideas to ensure societal prosperity and moral clarity.
Key points:
1. Judeo-Christian Values: Shapiro credits Western greatness to Judeo-Christian values and Greek reason, which he says shaped Western civilization's moral and philosophical base.
