Judeo-Christian worldview avers that ‘God created man in his own image’, while the Greek natural law reasons that man is capable of exploring God’s creation. Shapiro convincingly argues that most of the thinking and value system of the present day western civilisation has its roots in these two historical landmarks. Jerusalem represented the ancient Judeo-Christian values and Athens represented the Greek natural law. Jerusalem and Athens are the symbolic starting points for Shapiro to develop his thesis, sprinting through the history of the western civilisation over a long period of about 3500 years. Shapiro traces the evolution of the western worldview over millennia through various philosophers and their theories and strongly suggests that its foundations are in the ‘Right’ thought process. A Harvard graduate and a renowned Conservative scholar and author, this editor in chief of the Daily Wire is combative in arguing with not only the non-western skeptics but also those westerners who try to interpret the western civilisation in terms of liberal internationalism and laissez fair materialism. Yet, the western value system has been identified by many with ‘laissez fairism’, individualism and materialism.īen Shapiro struggles hard in his book titled ‘ The Right Side of History’ to dispel this misconception. The west too has had many great philosophers and thinkers who contributed substantially to the sum total of the world civilisation. But many share this scepticism and condescension about the west that its lifestyle and value system is not worth calling a civilisation.
