The Feast of Fools

Meer over het boek

Harvey Cox explores the critical roles of festivity and fantasy in contemporary culture and theology, arguing that both are essential for genuine social transformation. He defines festivity as the ability to celebrate joyfully and fantasy as the capacity to envision alternative realities. In a society focused on success and profit, Cox calls for a revival of unproductive celebration and a reimagining of social possibilities, emphasizing the need for creativity and imagination in politics and everyday life.
