The Dark Years?

Philosophy

“Certainly scholars will find Jacob Goodson’s The Dark Years? is a provocative reading that brings together insights regarding Richard Rorty’s philosophy of religion and political philosophy in novel ways. However, this work does so much more! As a meditation on the significance of hope—even when hope appears in its most melancholic timbre—Goodson provides readers a vision of political imagination that goes beyond simplistic trust in contemporary politics or rejection of civic participation.”
