Modernity sought to abolish authority. This is not the most common by advocating anarchy. Rather, it aims to justify its own established power from the standpoint of fictional autonomy, and to replace the arbitrary intentional instructions that make us human with scientific rationality .

Simon made this claim General Theory of Authority. With the help of Dominican monk Fr. Aquinas Gillbeau, Thomas is divided into this most enlightening book.
