John’s Reviews > Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault > Status Update

Wow! What a great book! Really helps to unpack how what we traditionally accept as the status quo, evolved from Enlightenment thinking. Hicks traces these threads through the cultural changes in continental Europe, the United States’ evolution into a Republic, the rise of free markets, and how secularism and religions clashed during the Enlightenment and after. Each page is better than the last one!
