Enlightenments Wake: Politics and Culture at the Close of the Modern Age, Paperback - John Gray

Detalii:

DescriptionJohn Gray is the bestselling author of such books as Straw Dogs and Al Qaeda and What it Means to be Modern which brought a mainstream readership to a man who was already one of the UKs most well respected thinkers and political theorists. Gray wrote Enlightenments Wake in 1995 - six years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and six years before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Turning his back on neoliberalism at exactly the moment that its advocates were in their pomp, trumpeting the end of history and the supposedly unstoppable spread of liberal values across the globe, Grays was a lone voice of scepticism. The thinking he criticised here would lead ultimately to the invasion of Iraq. Today, its folly might seem obvious to all, but as this edition of Enlightenments Wake shows, John Gray has been trying to warn us for some fifteen years - the rest of us are only now catching up with him.About the AuthorJohn Gray is one of the most internationally renowned and widely read political theorists writing today. The best-selling author of such books as Straw Dogs and Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia, he is currently Professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics.
