They knew what it stood for, and they believed in it. Today that sense has gone. That is largely because the six principal ideas which underpinned Western confidence - those of Christianity, optimism, science, economic growth, liberalism and individualism - have suffered a century of sustained attack. These ideas no longer inspire or unite the West as they once did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to \u003cem\u003eSuicide of the West\u003c\/em\u003e believe that, in theory, a more sophisticated synthesis of the six ideas could provide a way for the West to recover its nerve and integrity.
