Description

Rebecca Goldstein's thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of philosophy and modern life takes a fascinating look at how ancient ideas might inform our contemporary world. In this book, the acclaimed thinker delves into a range of thought-provoking questions, from the nature of morality and the role of expertise in shaping our understanding of the world.

Goldstein's investigation delves into the implications of Google and crowdsourced knowledge, and how these ideas might challenge traditional notions of reason and expertise. Along the way, she engages with a range of influential thinkers and ideas, from psychoanalysis to right-wing politics.

This book is a compelling exploration of the enduring relevance of philosophical ideas in the modern world, and a thought-provoking challenge to our assumptions about the nature of knowledge and morality.
