"In his first book composed in English, Rémi Brague maintains that there is a fundamental
problem with modernity: we no longer consider the created world and humanity as intrinsically
valuable. Curing Mad Truths, based on a number of Brague's lectures to English-speaking
audiences, explores the idea that humanity must return to the Middle Ages. Not the
Middle Ages of purported backwardness and barbarism, but rather a Middle Ages that
understood creation--including human beings--as the product of an intelligent and
benevolent God. The positive developments that have come about due to the modern project,
be they health, knowledge, freedom, or peace, are not grounded in a rational project
because human existence itself is no longer the good that it once was. Brague turns
to our intellectual forebears of the medieval world to present a reasoned argument
as to why humanity and civilizations are goods worth promoting and preserving"
