This essay portrays a destructive, late‐modern cultural battle over family and work, triggered especially by the advent of television, and waged between late liberalism's right and left wings. It sees the modem crisis of family and work as flowing in part from certain strains in Western classical spirituality, which modernity then developed technologically and psychologically. By contrast, it proposes a postmodern cultural vision of regeneration, which weaves afresh and holistic synthesis of creative communion, expressed ecologically, socially, and spiritually, and is centered in the sacred lay experiences of family and work.
