Description

Presents an analysis that ranges from the failures of the Enlightenment to the nature of Democracy, and Stalinism and Liberalism. This title shows how false nostrums have affected academe, politicians and the public, and how our weakness for ideological certainty has caught us in a ruinous cycle of totalitarianism and war.
