Ordering America: Fulfilling the Ideals of Western Civilization

Ordering America, painting a felicitous portrait of Western civilization, shows that its defining ideals-rooted in man's common human nature, a perception newly substantiated by modern evolutionary psychology-were best fulfilled by realization of the American founding order. Twentieth-century progressivism and postmodern multiculturalism detoured America down the way of social constructionism-human nature and equality are produced by culture and the state, through groups. The book sets a course to revive the Western ideals and return to an opportune center-right American order, applying latest scientific insights and restoring individual responsibility and reciprocity under more limited, still energetic government befitting our century.
