Book Review: Duchesne R., The Uniqueness of Western Civilisation

might get something out of this book too. They may be peeved by Bauman’s textual quirks. They may point to his over-simplification of important ideas. They may grimace at the way he ignores studies which dispute his claims. Even so, they will surely recognize his keen insight and applaud his bold attempt to unite deeply fractured fields of cultural inquiry. In sum, this little book is an ideal starting point for students of culture who have not yet read much, and it may also be a good read for those who have read too much, those who might give up the trees for the forest, if only for a hundred pages or so.
