Description
George Steiner's Nostalgia del absoluto is a profound and thought-provoking exploration of the human search for meaning in a post-religious world. In this collection of essays, Steiner examines the various mythologies that have emerged as substitutes for traditional religious institutions, including philosophy, psychoanalysis, anthropology, astrology, and occultism. With his characteristic erudition and incisive analysis, he probes the limitations and failures of these alternatives in addressing the fundamental crisis of meaning that afflicts modern humanity. Steiner's work offers a nuanced and insightful critique of the attempts to fill the void left by the decline of traditional religious systems, revealing the tensions and contradictions at their core.
