Old way may be best …

… A medieval cure for modern man’s unease | Catholic Herald. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The notion of hairesis, or heresy, is literally a matter of “choosing” or plucking out a doctrine from the others to which it is logically connected, severing it thereby from the context that gives it its meaning. And that is what modernity’s keeping of some Christian themes while jettisoning others has involved. The remedy, Brague argues, is to return to the medieval Christian wisdom that modern thinkers have defined themselves against. His chapters develop this theme in a way that is philosophically deep but also clear, succinct and witty.
