About The Death of Truth

This is, perhaps, the most important book written in the last ten years for those who want to understand modernism, post-modernism, multiculturalism and the various types of relativism, including moral relativism.

Ever wonder why some politicians seem to lie and misrepresent the facts while on the campaign trail? When Clinton was in office, were you concerned by his cavalier dismissal of the prevailing code of morality that has made America great? Were you perplexed that he could appear on TV and brazenly wag his finger at the American people and claim: "I did not have sex with that woman!" and then go on to lie under oath in interrogatories and in a deposition in the Paula Jones case? Well, after reading this book, you'll understand how Clinton and so many others in his administration could do just that.

You'll also be able to understand and enjoy my fact-based fiction novel, The China Connection (Writers Club Press, January 2003), a political thriller based on incidents which occurred during the Clinton presidency.

If everybody is lying to everybody else because they no longer believe that truth exists or if it does it's whatever they want it to be at that moment, then nobody will be able to trust anybody about anything. Since so much in a free society depends upon truth and trust, it would be a disastrous development for our culture where relativism in general and moral relativism in particular to become more pervasive than it already has. That's just one of many reasons why postmodernism, which promotes the relativisms, must be opposed.
