Gray's Anatomy: Selected Writings
Autor John Grayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2016
Updated with a new foreword and two new chapters of John Gray's writing.
Why is progress a pernicious myth? Why do beliefs that humanity can be improved end in farce or horror? Is atheism a hangover from Christian faith? John Gray, one of the most iconoclastic thinkers of our time, smashes through civilization's long cherished beliefs, overturning our view of the world and our place in it.

Recenzii
Gray's
dissection
of
modern
delusion,
cant
and
wishful
thinking
is
to
be
welcomed
in
this
moment
of
convulsion
...
This
is
a
book
to
learn
from
and
argue
with
A thoroughly enjoyable book ... These essays cover a remarkable range of topics, from Isaiah Berlin to Damien Hirst, from torture to environmentalism. But their unifying theme is that our naïve belief in the idea of progress has turned modern life into a constant round of shadow-boxing
A visionary ... one of the most reliably provocative and heterodox voices in British intellectual life today
Gray has consistently anticipated the shape of things to come . . . he teaches us that true humanism is to be found in uncertainty and doubt
Invigorating...elegant, witty, incisive... Gray's assault on Enlightenment ideas of progress is timelier than ever
