Part 5/7:
An integral part of Klavan’s argument revolves around the concept of a moral order. He sees the rejection of foundational moral truths as linked to the chaos prevalent in contemporary culture. He posits that a societal shift toward materialism—characterized by a detachment from God and traditional values—has resulted in a moral vacuum.
He articulates the notion that while politics and art can intertwine, the most authentic art emerges when there is clarity in moral understanding. Klavan criticizes the superficial political art that fails to resonate deeply with human experience, advocating instead for art that grapples with real human struggles and moral choices.
