Como sociedad, estamos olvidando que casi todos los sucesos extraordinarios que han tenido lugar en la historia los han llevado a cabo personas que creían en los valores judeocristianos y en el poder de la razón nacido en la Grecia clásica. Estas ideas pueden resumirse en dos nociones relacionadas. La primera, que todos los humanos están hechos a imagen de Dios y la segunda, que los humanos nacen con una capacidad de razonar que les permite explorar el mundo.Esos valores, cuya historia relata de manera asombrosamente ágil y profunda este libro, permitieron el nacimiento de la ciencia, el sueño del progreso, los derechos humanos, la prosperidad, la paz y la belleza artística. Construyeron Occidente, derrotaron al nazismo y el comunismo, sacaron a miles de millones de personas de la pobreza y les proporcionaron un objetivo moral.Sin embargo, hoy en día el sectarismo, el hedonismo, el progresismo, los gobiernos autoritarios de izquierdas, el feminismo y el materialismo científico están a punto de echar a perder los logros conseguidos.No debemos permitirlo. El lado correcto de la historia es, al mismo tiempo, una explicación de los valores judeocristianos y la ley natural griega responsables de la grandeza de Occidente y la mejor defensa que se puede hacer de ellos.á

El lado correcto de la historia

Now a #1 New York Times Bestseller.Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away?In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California-Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective.As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History, Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God's image and that human beings were created with reason capable of exploring God's world.We can thank these values for the birth of science, the dream of progress, human rights, prosperity, peace, and artistic beauty. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty, and gave billions more spiritual purpose. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty, and gave billions more spiritual purpose. Yet we are in the process of abandoning Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, watching our civilization collapse into age-old tribalism, individualistic hedonism, and moral subjectivism. We believe we can satisfy ourselves with intersectionality, scientific materialism, progressive politics, authoritarian governance, or nationalistic solidarity.We can't.The West is special, and in The Right Side of History, Ben Shapiro bravely explains how we have lost sight of the moral purpose that drives each of us to be better, the sacred duty to work together for the greater good,.
