The Thought at the Back of the Mind

Arts & Literature

“This is a delightful book, at once absorbing and insistent, meditative and a call to action. An expert guide through the difficult writings of five elegant modern writers, Aronowicz invites her readers to take up the good fight, reading carefully and thinking boldly, not only for their own sakes, but because everything is at stake—the possibility of our being human today beyond what she calls the religion of science. Intuition, metaphor, the ability to imagine the whole, subjectivity, glimpses of the Real, the ethical, interiority, poetry, and more; it is these things that make us human and that remain a bulwark against the technologization of our lives.”
