In this 6^th part of the Famished Craving series Gil Bailie asks the question, “What is Modernity?”.

It is well understood that what came before is the ‘unenlightened’ dark age of myth and pre-scientific superstitious religious belief. Yet concern for the downtrodden as well as the dignity of the individual are both products of the Judeo-Christian hegemony of this early period.

Lifting these concerns from their Christian seedbed and transplanting them into the hothouse of the Enlightenment produced what we call ‘modernity’. Cut off from their ontological sources in a relationship to the transcendent and personal God they are transformed into Liberté, égalité, fraternité the motto of the French Revolution and many others to follow with consequences both good and ill.

Romano Guardini wrote in his mid-20^th century book, The End of the Modern World, “As the benefits of revelation disappear from the coming world, man will truly learn what it means to be cut off from revelation.”
