Wonderfully enlightening
16. Mai 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Rousas John Rushdoony (1916-2001) was a Christian pastor, theologian, and philosopher, and the founder of the Chalcedon Foundation. In 1961, he published this prophetic book. In it, Rev. Rushdoony argues that the modern humanist system is ultra-statist cosmopolitan in that it aspires to create man whose home is the one-world, and as such is by nature hostile to home, community and church. The state-run school then must subscribe to a "blank-slate" view of children, who require conditioning to break them of any backward looking, localist attachments. However, human beings never are blank slates, and as such the educational establishment creates a form of intellectual schizophrenia among its students.
And what is the end result of the modern, public, humanistic educational project? "A culture not convinced of its own value is incapable of its own defense. Its energy is replaced by apathy, and its convictions by the torments of self-analysis." Does this not sound like the modern American war on terrorism?
Overall, I found this to be a fascinating book. When it was written it was forward looking to the point of being prophetic. Now, more than 40 years later, this book is a clear and cogent explanation of the development of the modern world, of how we got from World War II to the War on Terror. I found this book wonderfully enlightening, and I give it my highest recommendations!

Rushdoony is the real Morpheus
29. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
The above review by Kurt was wonderful.
Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Rushdoony read a book a day for 50 years. He is my favorite author after reading his, "The word of flux" and now this one. He will show you the Matrix.
Schizophrenia simply means narrow mindedness and because of Solipsism we may be cursed with schizophrenia if we know it or not. All thought is in the Cogito and this cogito is one mind only = narrow mindedness.
Here is a paragraph which discusses this book. I highly recommended reading Rushdoony as the limits of your world may branch out infinitum.
-
"There is no law, no society, no justice, no structure, no design, no meaning apart from God."
As the title implies, Intellectual Schizophrenia: the author identifies the basic contradiction that pervades a secular society that rejects God's sovereignty but still needs law and order, justice, science, and meaning to life. Secular man wants to use the things of creation while denying their Creator. So modern man becomes schizophrenic. He wants to assert his autonomy while rejecting the divine order that gives meaning to life. It is therefore no accident that modern schools have become such dangerous places, intellectually, morally, physically, and psychologically. They embrace the intellectual schizophrenia of man in total rebellion against God.
