In Search of Civilization: Remaking a Tarnished Id by John Armstrong

ISBN: 9780141031064 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 208 PUBLICATION DATE: 24.06.2010 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX12mm 160grams

DESCRIPTION: What is civilization? Why do we need it? And what can civilization offer us in an age of irony? The idea of civilization is a complex one, tangled up for years in ideas of colonialism and politics. John Armstrong explores the nature and aims of civilization in this elegant and witty book, examining how civilizing forces from the Greeks to the Renaissance have shaped and coloured our ideas of what a good existence means. Only by bringing conversations about civilization back into our everyday lives, Armstrong reveals, can we rediscover our chance for wisdom and happiness.
