John Gray

Black Mass (eBook, ePUB)

Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Our conventional view of history and human progress is wrong. It is founded on a pernicious myth of an acheivable utopia that in the last century alone caused the murder of tens of millions. In Black Mass John Gray tears down the religious, political and secular beliefs that we insist are fundamental to the human project and shows us how a misplaced faith in our ability to improve the world has actually made it far worse.
