NEO-MODERNISM: The Scourge of Western Culture

Neomodernism (in non-Theological terms) is characterized by a total repudiation of the perennial wisdom (wisdom of the ages).

In its "modern" form, neo-modernism reduces to "there is no God", in its post-modern form; "there is no truth." The later formulation is self-referentially absurd meaning it is self-contradictory. The former is demonstrably false on the basis of both deductive and inductive reasoning.

Many important advances have been made since the Enlightenment in both Science and Technology. Unfortunately, in the realms of Philosophy and Theology, much which was once known to advanced civilization has been lost through a variety of reductionist philosophical systems including scientism, utilitarianism, empiricism, idealism, panentheism (finite godism) and the like.

Neomodernist thinking has been particularly destructive to the so-called traditional morality (golden rule ethic) best exemplified by the Aristotelian/Thomistic synthesis.

Neomodernism Rejected

These are trying and confusing times. The Neo-modernist worldview stands rejected on the bar of history--"you shall know them by their fruits." (Matt. 12: 33)

We must return to the perennial wisdom of the ages which all great civilizations have embraced that is, a Traditional worldview and a more realist (21st century scientifically accurate) cosmology.

The 400 year old Cartesian /Newtonian view of the universe must finally be discarded. and with it Descartes Bifurcationist metaphysics. Our Worldview must reflect objective reality including the fixed nature of human anthropology. Until it does, the world will become an increasingly inhospitable place in which to live.
