Beschreibung (Kurztext)

A major narrative history of the thoughts, ideas, individuals, scientific discoveries, literature, and art of the 20th century - the perfect companion to Paul Johnson's bestselling Modern Times. "It is astounding, a one-man encyclopedia, a history of every idea in the twentieth century." - Daniel Bell

Beschreibung (Langtext)

From Freud to Babbitt, from Animal Farm to Sartre to the Great Society, from the Theory of Relativity to counterculture to Kosovo, The Modern Mind is encyclopedic, covering the major writers, artists, scientists, and philosophers who produced the ideas by which we live. Peter Watson has produced a fluent and engaging narrative of the intellectual tradition of the twentieth century, and the men and women who created it.
