Book description
Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment
Robert P. George's new volume feels like a quiet but urgent rallying cry for anyone who believes that public debate has lost its footing in the sea of emotion. The book is not a single narrative but a mosaic of essays, each one a sharp, reasoned attack on what George calls the "Age of Feeling." He argues convincingly that we have moved beyond the medieval faith and Enlightenment reason into a cultural epoch where truth is often taken to be whatever feels right in the moment.
What sets this collection apart is its insistence that moral clarity must come from thoughtful reflection, not from the head-long rush of sentiment. George tackles some of today's most contentious topics-human dignity, marriage, constitutional interpretation, civil liberties, and free markets-with a calm authority honed by decades at Princeton and Harvard Law School. His arguments are grounded in both classical philosophy and contemporary legal theory, making them accessible to scholars and lay readers alike.
The essays weave together a compelling case that our legal system, too, has been swept along by emotional impulses. Yet George does not simply indict; he offers constructive alternatives rooted in reasoned debate and the pursuit of objective truth. He reminds us that teaching is not merely about imparting facts but about training students to become "determined truth seekers and courageous truth speakers."
For readers tired of polarized rhetoric, this book is a breath of fresh air. It invites us back to the rigorous intellectual traditions that once guided our moral compass while urging us to engage current debates with humility and rigor. In an era where feeling often eclipses fact, George's work serves as both a warning and a hopeful blueprint for reclaiming reason in public life.
