21st Century Philosophy

Viac o knihe

Exploring contemporary social and cultural issues, this collection of eight essays delves into topics such as the implications of 'New Atheism,' the role of the United States in global affairs, and the potential revival of Enlightenment optimism. It questions the impact of quality fiction on modern imagination and examines the relationship between academic ideals and kitsch. Classic philosophers like Rousseau, Russell, Hume, and Sartre are referenced to provide insights into these pressing questions. The essays can be read independently, totaling over 80,000 words.
