Escape from reason

In this modern classic, Francis A. Schaeffer examines trends in twentieth-century thought, analyzing philosophy, science, art, and popular culture to identify dualism, fragmentation, and the decline of reason.

Schaeffer's work anticipates the contemporary postmodern ethos and demonstrates Christianity's promise for a new century, one in need of purpose and hope.

The book explores various aspects of modern thought, including the impact of figures like Kant, Rousseau, and Kierkegaard, and discusses the 'leap' into existentialism and the upper story experiences in art and culture.
