Description
This Czech-language essay explores the sources of anger spreading from Brazil to India and from the United States to Russia, crossing religious and cultural boundaries and affecting both poorer and wealthier people. Pankaj Mishra examines the logic behind the election of authoritarian leaders and political violence, returning to the roots of the critique of modernity in Rousseau’s criticism of Voltaire. The book traces the intellectual adventures of several centuries and continents, analysing the roots of nationalism, religious fundamentalism and other revolts against the injustices of the modern world while connecting seemingly forgotten debates and situations with the present day.
