Description

The seventeenth-century Baroque synthesis of the divine-human relationship emphasized the primacy of the Christian God in the lives of all men as the basis for legitimate humanism. The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century tore apart the components, emphasizing matter over spirit and pushing God far away as a remote cosmic architect. In the first half of the nineteenth century, spirit prevailed once again over matter in Romanticism. This effervescent movement was opposed by a renewed scientific materialism and itself fragmented into utopianism, sentimentalism, psychologism, existentialism, and pessimism. The history of Romanticism is the story of an explosive creative force that always consumes itself in one way or another.Such is the thesis of this ambitious historical and philosophical study, in which the author shows how thought and art forms from the end of the Napoleonic wars have left their mark on every aspect of the Western civilization we inhabit today. Its pages are a tour de force of cultural history, evaluating the ideas and influence of many figures-among them Voltaire, Rousseau, Chateaubriand, Kant, Hobbes, Feuerbach, Marx, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Comte, Renan, Delacroix, Courbet, Bentham, Darwin, Flaubert, Hugo, Zola, Huysmans, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Picasso, Dali, Maritain, Marcel, Eliade, Barzun, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Malraux, Gide, Bernanos, Péguy, Mounier, Bergson, Sartre, Ortega y Gasset, Guardini, Soloviev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Ruskin, Wilde, Keynes, Orwell, Weber, Freud, Jung, Barth, Tillich, Bonhoeffer, and Niebuhr.Modernity's accelerating dissolution becomes, in Fr. Steckler's telling, a negative apologetic for the truth of the Catholic Faith, which takes the whole of reality into its gaze and harmonizes the contradictories of matter and spirit, nature and divinity, feeling and reason, faith and science. Man is doomed to a cycle of experimentation, frustration, and skepticism so long as he runs away from the revelation and grace of God, which alone bring newness and freedom into the sordid tale of history.
