George tackles one of the most vexing issues dividing Americans today. He argues that the \"Age of Faith\" of the Medieval period and the \"Age of Reason\" of the European Enlightenments have been followed by a modern \"Age of Feeling,\" in which people derive their beliefs not from faith or reason--or faith \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e reason--but from emotion, which becomes the central source of truth. And so, many have embraced a fierce moral absolutism on the basis of beliefs that are the products of nothing more than subjective inclinations and experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays challenges the \"Age of Feeling\" by appealing to reason in the pursuit of sound moral understanding on crucial and contentious topics of human dignity, the definition of marriage, philosophy of law, constitutional law, the nature of civil liberties, free markets, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert George has taught generations of students at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and he has long proclaimed that a teacher's sacred mission is to form his students to be determined truth seekers and courageous truth speakers.
