Synopsis
Challenge assumptions about the big ideas behind society and power, and see how institutions shape belief and daily life.
This critical survey examines how religion, government, economics, and social norms influence our world. Though written long ago, it speaks to the enduring question of how much control the structures around us actually have over individual lives.
- Clear, provocative analysis of how public life is shaped by larger lies and shared myths.
- Accessible discussions of politics, economy, marriage, and media through a historical lens.
- Thoughtful arguments about freedom, responsibility, and the limits of state power.
- A distinctive voice that connects social critique with practical implications for readers.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book paints a vivid picture of a world in turmoil, where discontent and suffering fester beneath the surface of supposed progress. The author argues that despite advancements in technology and culture, humanity finds itself in a state of profound unhappiness. This pervasive pessimism, evident in everything from literature and art to politics and economics, is a symptom of a deeper crisis: a fundamental disconnect between our understanding of the universe and the realities of our daily lives. Drawing parallels with the decline of the Roman Empire, the author suggests that this is not merely a passing phase. Rather, it is a critical juncture in human history, where outdated social, political, and economic structures clash with our evolving understanding of the natural world. This clash manifests in various forms, from political unrest and social movements to the individual's retreat into escapism and self-destruction. This book challenges us to confront the "lies" of our civilization, the inconsistencies and hypocrisies that perpetuate our collective misery. It is a call to action, urging us to bridge the gap between our beliefs and our actions, to embrace truth and authenticity, and ultimately, to build a world that aligns with our deepest understanding of ourselves and the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781451001884_0
