Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation—even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's different history and traditions.

Think of a number between one and 10. No, hang on, let's make this interesting. Between zero and infinity. Even if you stick to the whole numbers, there are a lot to choose from - an infinite number in fact. Throw in decimal fractions, and infinity suddenly gets an awful lot bigger (is that even possible?). And then there are the negative numbers, the imaginary numbers, the irrational numbers like pi which never end. It literally never ends.

Except most of the ideas that form Western Civilisation are just that—ideas. Taking cues from Greek philosophy and honed in the Enlightenment, certain notions about humanity and human society grew into the tenets we live by, and we haven't questioned them a great deal since. But isn't it time we asked who really benefits from the values at the core of our society? How much truth lies in a science that conjured up 'race'? Who do laws and nations really protect? Why does it feel like time is money? What even is 'art'?

Today it wears a hoodie and speaks of disruption. The idea is this: that life is fundamentally a competition, that the strong deserve to win, and that science—nature itself—has given us permission to stop feeling bad about it.

He argues that the Christian ethic embedded in America’s founding documents helped create the moral framework that later fueled abolition, religious liberty, women’s suffrage, care for the poor, protection of the family, and the defense of human dignity. But as the nation abandoned Christianity for secularism, naturalism, and moral relativism, its laws and institutions began to reflect a different gospel.
