A Politics Worthy of Man

The book is a series of reflective essays by Mahoney on the philosophical, theological, and political thinking of our best conservative theorists: Pierre Manent and the late Sir Roger Scruton. Manent and Scruton are worthy of contemplation because both have accurately and wisely penetrated the false anthropology and metaphysics that undergird our deficient politics. Mahoney’s devotion to their thought guides the reader through precisely what the errant thinking of our rulers consists in and how it should be contested at the level of ideas.
