- Peter O'Lalor, author of Alexander Hamilton and the Duty and Obligation of Government
our hard-earned rationality, our scientific achievement, and our demand for prosperity and social justice? With passion, intelligence and hope, THE AMERICAN PSYCHE IN SEARCH OF ITS SOUL addresses this critical question in chapters covering the gamut of science and technology, business ethics, pop culture, politics, family values, urban violence, education, and religion in America. It reminds us that the dream of the American Founding Fathers was that this nation would be the site of a great flowering of wisdom, beauty and spirit – and this dream is not just a preposterous fantasy that sophisticated modern people can no longer take seriously. That is not the purpose of this book. One Reviewer has written: "Failing to reach the deeper levels of meaning and truth, people are stranded in a secular wasteland where they may engage in a lot of commerce, worship, sex, and science. But the commerce, as Cort concludes, will twitter into trivia, the worship will sink into an idolatry of soulless forms, or veer off into Jihad and vanity fair, and the science will end up merely performing an autopsy on a universe that it has declared dead and meaningless. “This learned and inspirational book rescues philosophy from the mathematicians, sex from the hedonists, religion from empty sanctimony, and science from barren materialism. A must read for all of us who seek a guidebook for meaningful life in the new millennium." ( George Gilder, author of Wealth and Poverty, Life after Television, and The Israel Test ) *************************************************** THE AMERICAN PSYCHE IN SEARCH OF ITS SOUL A Meditation on Government, Business, Science, Education, Media and Family is available in Paperback, eBook, and Amazon Kindle format.

The concern of The Enlightenment was to alter this. Rather than a world of countless suffering serfs and a few princes living in luxury off of everyone else’s labor, a great humanitarian endeavor was undertaken to elevate suffering humanity and provide a good life for all. The value of this endeavor is undeniable. But the cost has been enormous. In far too many ways, the Enlightenment agenda of open-minded scientific inquiry and the unfettered exercise of human reason has been overwhelmed by commercialism and turned into scientism and group-think. Now we are the heirs of ‘Logical Positivism’, a philosophical endeavor that seeks to impose scientific thinking into every aspect of our lives by suggesting that all forms of human knowledge should aspire to the same sort of rigorous rationality as science. Thus do we attempt to reject all the wonder and mystery of life, which means, on the one hand, that we are lying to ourselves (under the guise of being rational and intellectually sophisticated), and on the other hand, that our constricted minds have seceded from our emotions and intuitions, shattering the soul into fragments. This enormous encroachment of scientific methodology into all aspects of human life, coupled with the barren assumptions that all of creation can be explained by mechanics and all of human psychology can be explained by sexual and monetary greed, confers a dead, hollow universe, increasingly filled with violence and terror, in which a debased humanity finds no greater purpose than to go shopping. Each chapter discusses a different issue of modern life. However, three themes run consistently throughout the chapters, uniting the entire work and making the book unique: ● The very particular way in which the soul, as it was defined by Socrates, Plato, and Judeo-Christian scriptures, has been broken (i.e., it is inverted) and how this directly and concretely affects our contemporary lives; ● The impact of our having lost the intuitive understanding that creation exists on many levels. Nothing characterizes the modern world more completely than the loss of faith in transcendence, our lack of any genuine appreciation for levels of reality above our little everyday affairs. By shutting the door on transcendence, we have cut off any light from that world that might have illuminated this one, leaving us in darkness, leaving us with nothing but a dead world where scientists are merely performing an autopsy; ● The need to restore a genuine and passionate desire for all that is beautiful, good and true – in other words, the quest for love, wisdom and the meaning of life that was epitomized by the Greek concept of Eros, and was the dream of the American Founding Fathers.
