The Recovery of Family Life

"The Recovery of Family Life" examines the ongoing influence of revolutionary ideologies on marriage and family, questioning whether these ideas truly serve human happiness. Drawing on principles of liberal society and public policy, Scott Yenor offers a framework for understanding the role of family in society and discusses how current debates around issues like gay rights, pornography, and welfare could benefit from a deeper consideration of human flourishing. The book advocates for a reevaluation of assumptions to better align policies with a healthier vision of family life.
