Résumé
The views that history progresses toward perfection and the millenarian faith in human salvation are as tenacious as they have proven destructive. Sketching the roots of utopianism, Gray emphasizes the similarities between seemingly disparate movements: radical Islam might best be… thought of as "Islamo-Jacobinism." We must reconcile ourselves to a world of multiple truths and incompatible freedoms, where there is no overarching meaning and human values and desires can never be fully harmonized. Some strong language and some descriptions of violence. 2007.
