In Defense of Civilization: How Our Past Can Renew Our Present - by Michael R. J. Bonner

In Defense of Civilization is an exploration of the historical and cultural importance of civilization, particularly in the face of rising political and social turmoil. Michael Bonner defends the values of classical civilization, such as reason, freedom, and the pursuit of knowledge, while warning against the dangers of rejecting these principles in favor of chaos and nihilism. The book draws on history and philosophy to argue that the preservation of civilization is crucial for progress, stability, and human flourishing. Bonnerโ€™s work is a thoughtful reflection on the ongoing relevance of civilizationโ€™s foundational ideals in the modern world.
