Title: Incisive and energetic illumination of Western Civilization
Review: Any true student of Western Civilization will delight in this incisive treatment of perhaps the most fundamental theme of Western culture, viz. the emergence of rationality as a methodology from within the context of social and political (Christian) mysticism and dogma. Although abundant and conspicuous in its scholarship, this work is energetic, clear, and easy in style, and White is sensitive and optimistic in his handling of what could easily have been a "bashing" session. The work is rich, thought-provoking, and fulfilling intellectually, and yet fun to read. It is one of those rare, mind-expanding experiences that true free thinkers relish.
