The Civilization of the Mobius Strip & Other Essays

A collection of 19 wide ranging essays on education, reading, esoteric writing, the nation-state and modern nationalism, plus articles on Leo Strauss, David Hume, Xenophon, and the English language today. The author takes a lively and assertive approach to topics which are normally given an evasive treatment by the commentators. If you have ever wondered why our social sciences continue to lag behind the natural sciences this book is for you. The author casts a spot light on the glass bead game of academic sermonizing disguised as scholarship while at the same time providing a set of insights into the most significant fact of life today: we live inside nations and do not understand what they really are. Why the form of our body-politic should become invisible to us when we seek to examine it closely is disclosed in this book and helpful approaches are suggested to cure our blindness so we can explore the civilization of the Möbius Strip. A must for all students of politics, history, and philosophy.
