The Present Age

In his seminal 1846 tract "The Present Age," SOren Kierkegaard ("the father of existentialism"--"New York Times") analyzes the philosophical implications of a society dominated by mass media--a society eerily similar to our own. A stunningly prescient essay on the rising influence of advertising, marketing, and publicity, "The Present Age" is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the modern world.
