Why has politics become so fractious and warlike? What caused the populist political upheavals of recent years? How can the history of ideas help us understand our present? In this bold and far-reaching exploration of our new political landscape, William Davies reveals how feelings have come to reshape our world. Drawing deep on history, philosophy, psychology and economics, he shows how some of the fundamental assumptions that defined the modern world have dissolved. With advances in science and medicine, the division between mind and body is no longer so clear-cut. The spread of digital and military technology has left us not quite at war nor exactly at peace. In the murky new space between mind and body, between war and peace, lie nervous states: with all of us relying increasingly on feeling rather than fact.

Ocena użytkownika Anna z 8.11.2026, ocena 3; The book offers few original ideas and brings together concepts that are already common knowledge. While there are some interesting insights, it does not sufficiently answer the main question: what caused the upheaval of populism. More importantly, it fails to provide meaningful solutions. For example: the war-like communication should be dismantled. Ok, but how? How can we promote constructive dialogue in the environment where weaponised communication is a strategy of our politicians?The book offers few original ideas and brings together concepts that are already common knowledge.
