Wolfram Eilenberger on the daring of independent thinkers
Which philosophy can still guide us today? On the trail of Theodor W. Adorno, Susan Sontag, Michel Foucault and Paul K. Feyerabend, Geister der Gegenwart [“Ghosts of the Present”] is a captivating story of the dawn of a new Enlightenment. It also reveals how these four independent thinkers revolutionized our way of thinking about society, culture and science. Wolfram Eilenberger (“Time of the Magicians”, “The Visionaries”) presents another storytelling masterpiece which heralds the power of philosophy to break free from the constraints of the present. It is full of surprising insights and liberating inspiration for our crisis-stricken times.
