Brilliant
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I've read this three times. It is a brilliant essay showing how the most popular secular worldviews and totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century are best seen as quests for meaning, as religions like Christianity and Judaism grow increasingly unbelievable.
