Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The exploration of modernity is framed as a state of mind rather than a historical endpoint, highlighting modernism's dual nature of pride and anxiety. The book delves into the self-criticisms and doubts that accompany social and political advancements. Through profiles of influential figures like Machiavelli, Spinoza, Saul Bellow, and Isaiah Berlin, it offers a thought-provoking perspective on modern identity and the inherent discontent and radical rejection that often arise from it.
