Cynicism is in the air we breathe; it is a cultural norm; it is the default setting and lens through which many of us view the world. Why is cynicism so pervasive? What does it promise? How does it work? And what does it deliver? In this thorough, interdisciplinary exploration of cynicism, Dick Keyes probes the intellectual and cultural underpinnings of cynicism in its modern and postmodern manifestations. In analyzing our cynicism toward individuals, institutions and God, he gives cynicism the scrutiny it deserves, arguing for its merits as a tool for discernment while pointing out its limitations. Keyes subjects cynicism to its own critique and ultimately looks beyond cynicism to alternatives that wrestle honestly with suspicion, trust and hope.Wide-ranging and vast in scope, Seeing Through Cynicism offers meaty, substantive perspectives for faithful living in a cynical world. 343312 2006 Seeing Through Cynicism: A Reconsideration of the Power of Suspicion total:13|5:5|4:2|3:5|2:1| 13 50 26 3 3 0 true false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Jan 05 21:17:04 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 16:00:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 19:35:34 -0800 2008 Sun May 18 13:50:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Apr 26 22:05:20 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 26 22:06:12 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 18:44:38 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 18:44:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 07 10:18:13 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 10:18:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 09:58:51 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 09:58:57 -0700 2009 4 0 true false Sat Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 16:45:14 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 15:17:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 06 21:35:26 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 21:35:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 17:21:30 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 17:21:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 22 12:38:22 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 12:38:22 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sat Dec 20 06:01:15 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 06:01:23 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 08 18:38:33 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 18:38:33 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 08 17:58:28 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 17:58:28 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 08 12:34:21 -0800 2008 Fri Oct 02 12:43:24 -0700 2009 3 0 true false Sat Nov 22 06:18:06 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 06:18:06 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 13 20:23:42 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 15:29:32 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 20:23:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Aug 04 05:17:20 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 05:17:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Apr 24 18:07:43 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 18:07:43 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Sep 21 11:50:01 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 30 08:12:38 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 11:50:01 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 19 17:10:10 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 17:10:10 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=353100
