How can the history of ideas help us understand our present?
information
In this bold and far-reaching exploration of our new political landscape,
William Davies reveals how feelings have come to reshape our world.
Drawing deep on history, philosophy, psychology and economics, he shows
how some of the fundamental assumptions that defined the modern world
have dissolved. With advances in science and medicine, the division
between mind and body is no longer so clear-cut. The spread of digital and
military technology has left us not quite at war nor exactly at peace. In the
murky new space between mind and body, between war and peace, lie
nervous states: with all of us relying increasingly on feeling rather than fact.
