Modernity has tried to put off authority. It does this
not mostly by advocating anarchy. Relatively, it justifies its
personal established powers by way of a fictive self-rule, and
purports to switch the arbitrary dictates of power–and a lot of
what makes us human–with scientific rationality.
However authority is important to human life, and never simply as a
drugs for weak spot and evil. It arises from and serves what’s
noblest in us. The French Catholic thinker Yves R. Simon made
this case in A Common Idea of Authority. With the assistance
of Dominican friar Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, Thomas dives into this
most enlightening guide.
