Rushdoony argues that the modern world’s inversion of justice celebrating crime while erasing responsibility flows from the legacy of Marx, Darwin, and Freud, who completed the Enlightenment’s turn from God to man and ultimately against man himself. Focusing on Freud, he warns that redefining guilt as a scientific problem rather than a moral one severs guilt from sin, abolishes true accountability, and makes salvation impossible. In its place arises the mental-health state, offering therapy, drugs, and control rather than repentance and redemption, and paving the way for rule by a scientific elite. The real issue is theological: either God governs man through His law, or men will play God over humanity.
