Seven Prophets and the Culture War: Undoing the Philosophies of a World in Crisis

Three of the seven "prophets" profiled in this book—Descartes, Rousseau, and Nietzsche—instigated or provoked significant disruptions in the world through their intellectual endeavours.

The rest - Pascal, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Soloviev - not only foresaw these upheavals but also illuminated the path to overcoming them.

By thoroughly examining all seven of these philosophers, we will have a clearer understanding of the fundamental nature and source of ongoing worldwide conflicts, enabling us to make informed and bold decisions for a more favourable future.

Alex Havard guides us through the philosophical pitfalls that the world has embraced in recent history, as well as the transcendent virtues and values that will assist us in overcoming them.

As a collective community, this book serves as our path forward; it enables us to identify the sources of our intellectual divisions, so that we may create unifying solutions.
