Titel: Black Mass
Auteur: John Gray
ISBN: 9780141025988
Conditie: Echt gebruikt
Tears down the religious, political and secular beliefs that we insist are fundamental to human project. This title examines interaction of terrorism, declining world resources, human myths of redemption and a flawed belief in Western democracy, and shows us how a misplaced faith in our ability to improve the world has actually made it far worse.
A prophetic warning against the foolishness of crusades, John Gray's Black Mass challenges our belief in human progress.
Our conventional view of history is wrong. It is founded on a pernicious myth of an achievable utopia that in the last century alone caused the murder of tens of millions.
