Kennedy launches this intriguing investigation of twelve giants of western thought with an analysis of Augustine's description of the 'two cities' - the secular and the sacred. Modernity has rejected their co- operation. The Protestant Reformation witnessed the collapse of the spiritual unity of the church. John Locke registered this when he observed that: "everyone is orthodox to himself," and therefore government should restrict itself to material concerns. Also tracing the thought of Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Dostoyevsky, and Solzhenitsyn, to conclude Kennedy invites a rediscovery of our spiritual roots which secularism has obscured.
