First sentence: Let us grant a measure of truth to the claims made in these days about our values: that the contemporary Western world fails to give us value guidance; that we live in an age of value chaos; that we experience value vertigo; that the center fails to hold and, as Marx famously observed, there is no foundation all the way down the line; that social cohesion is on the wane; and that we have no sense of governing norms.
