The cultural revolution that we're going through today has a historic background, and it's not just a thing that's happening right now.
The author drives deep into the history of philosophy and literature to show that all the things that are alarming to so many these days are really just a waypoint in a trajectory that was set centuries ago. Tracing the modern development from Rousseau to (almost) today, the author plays fair with views he opposes, explaining why transgenderism and other pathologies are not considered lowbrow comedy, but are somehow taken seriously in today's world.
