Description
Why do we desperately need strong stories that would connect us as a nation, and where can we find them? How do we confront the rising populism that manipulates facts, and why is truth – which we often lack – crucial for the survival of society?
Ján Markoš, an advocate of critical thinking, connects in his texts the keen insight of a philosopher with the precision of a chess master. He observes events that confuse, disturb, or frustrate us. He can take overlooked details or partial images and place them in broader contexts that define our world. He shows how small things can have significant impacts in the future. He encourages sensitivity and engagement. Although he deals with grim topics, his reflections sound hopeful. He mainly writes about Slovakia, but his texts are also a lesson for Czech readers: They illuminate the crossroads where democracy turns into totalitarianism.
