Isms & ologies : 453 difficult doctrines you've always pretended to understand

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "From chauvinism to chiliasm, from Epicureanism to existentialism, and from nationalism to nominalism, we live in a wilderness of dogmas and doctrines, creeds and credos. But just what do all these -isms mean? What's the difference between an anarchist and an anarcho-syndicalist, a Platonist and a Neo-Platonist? And how modern can Modernism really be if all the famous modernists are dead? Some everyday -isms, the likes of materialism, naturism and surrealism, present few problems. In the darkest depths of the forest of ideas lurk -isms which even the most cutting-edge of metropolitan intellectuals might struggle to define snappily. Isms and Ologies lists them all and explains their salient features clearly and accessibly if you want to lend a veneer of intellectual rigour to your small talk, or if you are genuinely curious to know the defining features of fauvism and the crucial characteristics of phenomenology."
