The New Leviathans - Thoughts After Liberalism

Author J. G. Ballard claimed that Straw Dogs challenges assumptions and exposes delusions. With his latest book, Gray continues to do both these things.>

John Gray is a political philosopher, whose books include Seven Types of Atheism, Straw Dogs, Black Mass, The Soul of the Marionette, The Silence of Animals and Feline Philosophy. He now principally writes for the New Statesman.

Report

A timely meditation on the passing of the liberal age, and on the life and afterlives of its grandfather, Thomas Hobbes. Composed with Gray's characteristic erudition and taste for the ironies of intellectual history, The New Leviathans is a provocative delight, even as the author's premonitions about the world to come are thoroughly discomfiting.
