The Death of Metaphysics; The Death of Culture: Epistemology, Metaphysics, and Morality (Philosophical Studies in Contemporary Culture, Vol. 12)

The Latin root of the English word culture ties together both worship and the tilling of the soil. In both interpretations the outcome is the same: a rightly-directed culture produces either a bountiful harvest or falls short of the mark, materially or spiritually. This volume offers a critical examination of the nature and depth of our contemporary cultural crisis, focused on its lack of traditional orientation and moral understanding.
