83-year-old Philosopher’s message to our generation and time | Os Guinness

Os Guinness is a dear friend of the ARC movement, and we were moved by his message to us at ARC 2025 about the need for a cultural spiritual renewal in the West. As Os see's it:

"secular humanism itself has failed...the renewal of faith is now seen to be indispensable. Humans need 3 things on a personal level: meaning, belonging and purpose. And theres no deeper answers than the Christian faith, rooted in judaism."

With the return of the ARC Conference this February, we are launching our first book — a work that encapsulates the values and ideas that shape ARC’s mission. The Best of Our Inheritance brings together fifteen of the sharpest minds of our time to make a bold case for remembering the values of our civilisation. From Barry Straussʼ account of the Classical Tradition, Ayaan Hirsi Aliʼs personal reflections on the values of the West and its Christian roots to Nigel Biggarʼs chapter on human dignity and Joseph Laconte’s call to the artists, reading this book will give you a tangible vision for civilisational renewal.
