À propos de cet audio
Welcome back to CSS Breakdown: Book by Book — Season 4. We’re diving into the reflections of Will Durant in his posthumously published masterpiece, Fallen Leaves. In Episode 10, we examine Durant’s powerful insights into the evolving relationship between morality, religion, and modern society — a journey through belief, upheaval, and renewal."
In this episode of CSS Breakdown: Book by Book, we unpack Chapter 10 of Fallen Leaves by Will Durant, focusing on the dynamic and often contentious relationship between morality, religion, and the forces of industrialization and modern warfare.
🧠 Key themes include:
The definition of morality as public-interest conduct shaped by customs
The Church’s historical role as a moral compass — both its contributions and contradictions
How industrialization and modern warfare disrupted traditional moral frameworks
Durant’s argument that morality hasn’t decayed, but evolved with new societal needs
A call for secular ethics, grounded in education, reason, and human progress
This chapter challenges the nostalgic view that society is in moral decline and instead offers a hopeful, reasoned case for an adaptive and intelligent morality, fit for modern times.
