Exploring contemporary social and cultural issues, this collection of eight essays delves into topics such as the future of 'New Atheism,' the role of the United States in global affairs, and the relevance of Enlightenment optimism. It questions the impact of quality fiction on modern imagination and examines the relationship between academic ideals and kitsch. The work draws on insights from influential philosophers like Rousseau, Russell, Hume, Heidegger, Schopenhauer, and Sartre, allowing readers to engage with these themes in any order.
