Why is America again unjustly at war? Why is its politics distorted by wedge issues like abortion and gay marriage? Why is antiSemitism still so powerfully resurgent? Such contradictions within democracies arise from a patriarchal psychology still alive in our personal and political lives in tension with the equal voice that is the basis of democracy. The book joins a psychological approach with a politicaltheoretical one that traces both this psychology (based on loss in intimate life) and resistance to it (based on the love of equals) to the Roman Republic and Empire and to three Latin masterpieces: Virgils Aeneid, Apuleiuss The Golden Ass, and Augustines Confessions. Democratic resistance in religion, psychology, the arts, and politics rests on free voices challenging patriarchal restrictions on the love of equals. In addition to examining why we are at war, this book explains many other aspects of our present situation including why movements of ethical resistance are often accompanied by a freeing of sexuality and why we are witnessing an aggressive fundamentalism at home and abroad.

This book is essential for anyone involved in social justice. It discusses the resistance against patriarchy in a way that’s both engaging and informative. I would recommend it to my peers who are looking to understand the stakes better.

Interesting but dense
I found parts of 'The Deepening Darkness' to be really enlightening, especially regarding patriarchy’s impact on democracy. However, some sections felt a bit heavy and hard to digest. It’s a great book for those who like to dig deep into political theory.

A thought-provoking read
'The Deepening Darkness' really dives into the complexities of modern democracy and the challenges we face with rising patriarchy. I appreciated the insightful analysis and historical context. Definitely made me think more critically about the future!

Needed more examples
While I liked the ideas presented in 'The Deepening Darkness', I wish there were more real-world examples to back up the theories. It sometimes felt abstract, which made it hard to connect with. Still, it sparked some important discussions among friends.

Disappointing conclusion
I had high hopes for 'The Deepening Darkness', but I didn't find the conclusion very satisfying. The discussions were compelling, but they didn’t seem to lead to actionable solutions. I expected a stronger call to action.
