Krátky popis
David Andress argues that we are suffering from an attack of social
and cultural dementia. The former great powers of the historic
'West' - especially Britain, the USA and France - seem to be
abandoning the wisdom of maturity for senile daydreams of recovered
youth. Along the way they are stirring up old hatreds, giving
disturbing voice to destructive rage, and risking the collapse of
their capacity for decisive, effective and just governance.At the
core of this dangerous turn is an abandonment of political
attention to history, understood as a clear empirical grounding in
how we reached our present condition. Historical stories are
deployed in public debate as little more than dangerous fantasies.
In this blistering assessment David Andress, one of Britain's
leading historians of the age of revolutions, shows how the West
has abandoned its history and has lost its bearings and its memory.
