In this unique philosophical critique of modern Western civilization, Adams argues that contemporary culture is deranged by false assumptions about the human mind. He sees a growing gap between the subjectivistic culture and the structure of reality which has not only produced "the death of God" but is threatening the social and moral fabric of modern man. Cultural renewal is possible only through the reassertion of the humanities in our intellectual life."
