• Preface to the Second Edition; Translator's Introduction: What Has Never Been Seen; 1. Culture and Barbarism; 2. Science Judged by the Criteria of Art; 3. Science Alone: Technology; 4. The Sickness of Life; 5. Ideologies of Barbarism; 6. Practices of Barbarism; 7. The Destruction of the University; Index.

'Henry is one of the most exciting and radical thinkers of the last half-century. In this excellent translation of Barbarism, we get a sense of this radicalism is his critique of the "Galilean" principle - especially with regard to politics but also in his approach to art, ideology, technology, and education. It will be an invaluable addition to his other works already in English.'
