In his groundbreaking work, Rémi Brague delves into the core issue of modernity, contending that we have lost sight of the intrinsic value of both the created world and humanity. Through his first book written in English, he explores the notion that humanity must embark on a journey back to the Middle Ages, a time when creation, including human beings, was viewed as the result of an intelligent and benevolent God. Contrary to popular misconceptions, Brague proposes a Middle Ages that is characterized by wisdom and progress rather than backwardness and barbarism.
While acknowledging the positive advancements brought about by the modern project, such as improvements in health, knowledge, freedom, and peace, Brague argues that these achievements are not rooted in a rational endeavor. He asserts that human existence itself has lost its former goodness, rendering the foundations of modern progress inadequate. To address this predicament, Brague turns to the intellectual giants of the medieval world, presenting a well-reasoned argument for the promotion and preservation of humanity and civilizations.
Curing Mad Truths is a profound and thought-provoking exploration that will captivate a discerning audience of philosophers, historians, and medievalists. It offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing modern society and provides a roadmap for a meaningful return to our roots. Through his meticulous research and compelling arguments, Brague invites us to reevaluate our understanding of the past and embrace the values that have shaped our civilization for centuries.
