![]() “You’re saying Joe Biden is pandering because he’s using a popular figure like me,” she continued.

He argues that despite the destructive rebellious left, Cold War capitalism was on track to “produce a more cultured America - and a more tolerant America.” And that’s where we’d be today, he believes, if the counterculture hadn’t come along and turned the youth against the conformists who begat them. Twentieth-century rebels kicked over both pillars and let society tumble away into revolution and countercultural excess, of which Shapiro also disapproves. Mostly, though, Shapiro disapproves of anyone - existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, socialist novelist Sinclair Lewis, feminist journalist and activist Gloria Steinem - who has challenged the dual supremacy of religious morality and pure reason. And its best characters are a hard-partying gambler and his girlfriend, a prostitute who has more moral sense than all the Karamazovs put together: Kind of like the quest for moral meaning, it’s complicated. “The Brothers Karamazov” makes a much meatier argument for religious morality than this one sinister passage. For Shapiro’s purposes, the tale’s take on humanity describes the godless destiny the West has chosen for itself, under the influence of the “dark side of the Enlightenment.” Readers who’ve come to Shapiro for answers might be better served by the whole of the novel. The masses, the inquisitor says, have plunged away from meaning toward materialism, and they need an authoritarian church to keep them in line more than they need a refresher on Christian morality. In the telling, Jesus touches down in Seville, Spain, at the time of the Inquisition but he’s detained and rejected by the church’s top potentate, who has a message for him. Shapiro turns to Dostoyevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov” and plucks out the poem “Grand Inquisitor.” In the book, the brainiest of the brothers recites the poem as a repudiation of organized religion. ![]() He praises a few great men for having found the ideal balance between Athens and Jerusalem over the centuries. After exchanging some rough words, Shapiro incited Tur by asking, “What are your genetics, sir?” A fracas ensued. On the air, Shapiro conveyed his view that “a society that refuses to acknowledge the biological differences between men and women is engaging in knowing falsehood.” His remarks ignited the ire of fellow panelist Zoey Tur, who is transgender. These complaints come in a chapter called “The Return to Paganism,” which opens with Shapiro recounting his appearance on a cable talk show panel on transgender people. He manages, in a single sweeping passage, to blame Karl Marx and New Left theorist Herbert Marcuse for a variety of modern social ills: pediatrician Benjamin Spock’s once-revolutionary precepts on child care, the insidious self-esteem of the Me Generation and the influence of Barney the purple dinosaur who, in Shapiro’s view, was wrong to have told so many ordinary children that they were special. However, as he lays out his historical survey, his case weakens when he nears the present day. Shapiro covers a lot of ground in fewer than 220 pages of text.
