The New Philistines
Author: Sohrab AhmariPublisher: Biteback Publishing
ISBN: 1785901591
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Contemporary art is obsessed with the politics of identity. Visit any contemporary gallery, museum or theatre, and chances are the art on offer will be principally concerned with race, gender, sexuality, power and privilege. The quest for truth, freedom and the sacred has been thrust aside to make room for identity politics. Mystery, individuality and beauty are out; radical feminism, racial grievance and queer theory are in. The result is a drearily predictable culture and the narrowing of the space for creative self-expression and honest criticism. Sohrab Ahmari's book is a passionate cri de coeur against this state of affairs. The New Philistines takes readers deep inside a cultural scene where all manner of ugly, inept art is celebrated so long as it toes the ideological line, and where the artistic glories of the Western world are revised and disfigured to fit the rigid doctrines of identity politics. The degree of politicisation means that art no longer performs its historical function, as a mirror and repository of the human spirit - something that should alarm not just art lovers but anyone who cares about the future of liberal civilisation.

Anti-Nietzsche
Author: Malcolm BullPublisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781683166
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Nietzsche, the philosopher seemingly opposed to everyone, has met with remarkably little opposition himself. He remains what he wanted to be— the limit-philosopher of a modernity that never ends. In this provocative, sometimes disturbing book, Bull argues that merely to reject Nietzsche is not to escape his lure. He seduces by appealing to our desire for victory, our creativity, our humanity. Only by ‘reading like a loser’ and failing to live up to his ideals can we move beyond Nietzsche to a still more radical revaluation of all values—a subhumanism that expands the boundaries of society until we are left with less than nothing in common. Anti-Nietzsche is a subtle and subversive engagement with Nietzsche and his twentieth-century interpreters—Heidegger, Vattimo, Nancy, and Agamben. Written with economy and clarity, it shows how a politics of failure might change what it means to be human.

The Anti-Bible
Author: Ivan GreenPublisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1634102339
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
The Anti-Bible is exactly what the name implies. It will take readers on a journey through all 66 books of the New International Version of the Holy Bible, exposing all the lies, exaggerations, contradictions, violence, hatred, absurdities, and immorality contained within. It will also show analyses of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic texts, pieces of original scriptures that were left out of modern publications. These will show even more contradictions and fairy tales, proving that the entire collection is man-made and engineered to manipulate and control the uninformed. Primarily, this book will serve as a reference for atheists in debates with Christians about nearly every part of the Bible. Secondarily, it could also become a steppingstone for Christians who may be questioning and/or doubting their faith, and who need a bit of help getting over that final existential hump, as it were. There has been an extreme invasion of religion (mainly Christianity in the U.S.A.) into the lives of atheists. The prominence of religious ignorance in the American government specifically, has forced violent and hateful dogma into laws, schools, doctor offices, and bedrooms. This book provides a creative and peaceful protest against those actions. Amen!
