Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In this thought-provoking work, the author explores the dubious foundations of our society through the lenses of religion, culture, and politics. The author places particular emphasis on the idea that civilization and culture are in fact detrimental to humanity, arguing that they are built on a bedrock of lies that we unwittingly accept as truth. The author traces the historical evolution of this phenomenon, juxtaposing the lofty ideals of the Enlightenment with the harsh realities of our contemporary world. They dissect the institutions and norms that govern our lives, exposing the hypocrisies and inconsistencies that pervade them. From the pulpit to the boardroom, from the halls of justice to the bedrooms of our homes, the author leaves no stone unturned in their relentless pursuit of truth.
