Christopher Dawson, TRADITION AND INHERITANCE

dawson1

One of Dawson’s little known and little-remembered pieces and one of his best.  TRADITION AND INHERITANCE was an attempt to write an autobiography from the standpoint of family rather than individual.  A beautiful idea, but it proved too cumbersome for Dawson to finish.  Still, what’s here is nothing short of brilliant.

Second Interview with Christopher Dawson 1961

“They’ve got their history wrong.  The best fruits came precisely from Christian humanism.  When Christianity and humanism touch, the best things emerge.”

“The great Christian humanists, men like St. Thomas More, Vives, Erasmus, Castellion and others, were ever so much more humanitarian than the secular humanists.”
