Dit is een van de meest zorgvuldig geschreven, coherente en slimste werken die ik in tijden heb gelezen en ik word verdrietig bij het idee dat ik alles binnen een paar maanden waarschijnlijk gewoon weer vergeten ben

“[Democracy] will triumph over the forces of nihilism only if it can imbue people with a faith that it is the strongest the human mind is capable of, the faith in life and truth, and in freedom as the active and spontaneous realization of the individual self.”
Recommended read for anyone and everyone.

Very concise argument on the paradoxical phenomenon of modern men fighting for freedom while at the same time feeling an extreme sense of loss, confusion, fear and loneliness once freedom is attained. Although the language is written mostly in prose, at times the book oversimplifies some of the more complex issues. Overall, a great read for anyone who wants to break the self-perpetuating, vicious cycle of feeling a sense of helplessness, loneliness and a lack of direction in the modern world. The solution is in this book.

A bit dry at the beginning, but way better later. Deeply insightful and brilliant. If you are interested in psychology, anthropology, politics, or sociology, this book is for you.
