Review # 1 was written on 2016-08-12 00:00:00 David Zielinski I read this as part of an Oblate Formation program. The underlying messages were good. However, it often got lost in flowery language. I also often thought he overextended his arguments.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-24 00:00:00 Cor Enfa This book explores how scientific materialism, justified by belief in Darwinian evolution, has dehumanized our politics and our culture. This book is valuable in bringing to light just how all pervasive the idea has become that we are just a higher form of animal life, that we have no soul, no will, that we are totally in thrall to our genes and to bursts of electrical energy in our brains (there being no such thing as mind). All this would be horrifying enough if true, but West's book reveals how very shaky the foundations of Darwin's theory are.
