Abstract
Rémi Brague’s The Kingdom of Man: Genesis and Failure of the Modern Project is the third in a trilogy on the place of humanity in the cosmos. Wisdom of the World (2003) traced man’s place in the natural order, while The Law of God (2007) looked at the human in relation to revelation. Kingdom analyzes the emergence of the human liberated from nature and God, where man is the Creator and Lord of his humanity. Brague thinks this project fails and this failure forces us to rethink the ultimate rejection of nature and God as sources for ethical knowledge and human meaning.
