The retired behavioral science professor explores philosophy, religion, politics, psychology, and cultural change through a distinctly Catholic perspective.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Baglino brings his background in education, religion, and public commentary to his book, From Gramsci to Freud: 7 Anti-Christian Philosophers Who Ruined America. The work examines the ideas of Antonio Gramsci, Herbert Marcuse, Georg Hegel, Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud, focusing on what Baglino views as their lasting influence on Western culture, political thought, psychology, religion, and changing social norms.
Throughout the book, Baglino considers philosophical conflicts between these thinkers and the Christian traditions that historically shaped significant aspects of Western culture. He connects their writings with contemporary debates involving Marxism, conflict theory, critical race theory, technology, centralized authority, sexuality, education, and social organization. These connections represent Baglino’s interpretation and argument, inviting readers to examine the intellectual history behind ideas that continue to generate debate in American public life. The author’s own website similarly describes the book as an examination of these seven philosophers and their relationship to modern cultural issues.
Baglino approaches the subject from an explicitly Catholic viewpoint, combining his academic background in behavioral science with his interest in philosophy, sociology, psychology, faith, and culture. Rather than limiting the discussion to abstract philosophical theory, the book connects historical thinkers with questions that Baglino believes remain relevant to contemporary society. Published descriptions of the book identify it as a 226-page work examining conflicts between these philosophies and Western culture.
The book may appeal particularly to readers interested in intellectual history, Christianity, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and political thought. Because many of its conclusions reflect Baglino’s religious and cultural perspective, it also provides readers with an opportunity to consider and critically evaluate one author’s interpretation of how philosophical ideas move from academic discussion into broader social and political life.
