Icarus Fallen: The Search for Meaning in an Uncertain World
Chantal Delsol
Likens contemporary Western man to the mythical figure Icarus, explaining how we have come simultaneously to embrace the 'good' but reject the 'true', how we have sacralized rights and democracy, and how we have lost our sense of the tragic and embraced the idea of 'zero risk'.
