| Description: | Select Guide Rating In the 17th century, the vision of Cosmopolis arose - a rationally ordered society. This vision perpetuated the delusion that human nature and society could be fitted into precise and manageable rational categories. This text confronts that agenda - its illusions and its consequences. |
