What is happening to the world? Why does it seem like everyone has gone crazy? Why are so many things that seemingly everyone believed the day before yesterday suddenly held to be retrograde, hateful, or even criminal? And why are things that everyone seemed to view as lunacy the day before yesterday suddenly taught or even required?
In Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy, bestselling moral philosopher J. Budziszewski dissects and explodes the crazy-but deadly serious-ideas that have spread, bred, and metastasized throughout contemporary society. Ranging over the topics of morality and happiness, politics and government, family and sexuality, and God and religion, Budziszewski patiently explains the delusions that beset us. And in commonsense language he makes the case for sanity.
Pandemic of Lunacy will be treasured by anyone who is troubled or confused, anyone who wonders whether the world has gone crazy or whether they have, and anyone who feels the need for a trustworthy guide in a topsy-turvy age.
