Man’s Hatred for Man

When “rights” replace responsibility and regulation replaces regeneration, what’s left? In Chalcedon Position Paper No. 197: “Man’s Hatred for Man,” R.J. Rushdoony dissects the unraveling of modern relationships—from the breakdown of employer-employee trust to the erosion of family loyalty. Behind it all is a growing love for the state and a deepening hatred for mankind. Bureaucracy, entitlement, and Enlightenment rationalism have promised justice—but delivered cynicism, litigation, and social collapse. Can two walk together unless they agree? Join us as we explore why only the power of regeneration—not regulation—can heal a culture tearing itself apart.
