Under omprövning rymmer ett stort antal bidrag som förenas av att de utifrån ett kritiskt perspektiv diskuterar vår tids mest karakteristiska estetiska hållningar och konstnärliga tendenser. Antologin försöker se framåt, förbi de modernistiska och postmodernistiska strategier som kännetecknat 1900-talets utveckling inom konstarter som litteratur, musik, bildkonst och arkitektur. Detta innebär också en omvärdering av kulturhistorien, där en rad förbisedda författarskap och konstnärskap lyfts fram. Och där kulturhistorien utvärderas med avseende på vad som kan te sig fruktbart och ofruktbart för framtiden.
Now in a 25th anniversary edition, featuring a foreword from bestselling author Rob Henderson of the Manhattan Institute and a new postscript from Theodore Dalrymple. "A classic for our times. It is as fundamental for understanding the world we live in as the three R's." -Thomas Sowell As a British psychiatrist who treated the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England, Theodore Dalrymple had seemingly seen it all. Yet, in listening to and observing his patients, he has been continually astonished by the latest twist of depravity that exceeds even his own considerable experience. Dalrymple’s key insight in Life at the Bottom is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims. This culture persuades those at the bottom that they have no responsibility for their actions and are not the molders of their own lives. Drawn from the pages of the cutting-edge political and cultural quarterly City Journal, Dalrymple's book draws upon scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes that are by turns hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and all too revealing--sometimes all at once. And Dalrymple writes in prose that transcends journalism and achieves the quality of literature.
Theodore Dalrymple, one of Britain's most incisive and wryly entertaining social critics takes on the nation's pervasive cultural decline in An Englishman's Home is His Car Park. This is not just another political commentary; it is a brilliantly observed, deeply felt critique of the everyday slovenliness and "performative behaviour" that has replaced genuine civic pride and the pursuit of excellence. Dalrymple argues that we have settled for a facade of care rather than striving for the best results, a shift that is eroding the nation's spirit. Dalrymple masterfully connects the dots from the micro—the paved-over front garden, the neglect of public spaces—to the macro: a nation seemingly resigned to its own degradation. His thesis on our "collective lack of care" and preference for empty gestures over substantial action is both a shocking revelation and a confirmation of what we see around us. Dalrymple also provides the crucial first step toward a meaningful recovery.
Nothing But Wickedness looks at society's subtle - and some not so subtle - transgressions that cause the decline of our culture. The topics covered include: - What drives doctors to work for dictators; - The benefits of idleness; - How to understand Hitler; -Why doctors collect body parts; - The meaning of illness; - How war advances medicine. Wide-ranging, is a great new read for the intelligent reader and the Theodore Dalrymple fan On doctor orders: the only way for us all to stay sane, is to stay curious
Nothing But Wickedness delves into society's subtle-and some not so subtle-transgressions that contribute to the decline of our culture. Theodore Dalrymple, drawing on his extensive experience as an inner-city GP and prison psychiatrist, examines the underlying factors that drive societal behaviours and self-deception. The book covers a range of thought-provoking topics, including what drives doctors to work for dictators, the benefits of idleness, understanding the mindset of Hitler, why doctors collect body parts, the true meaning of illness, and how war can paradoxically advance medicine. This wide-ranging exploration is a compelling read for the intelligent reader and the Theodore Dalrymple fan. Dalrymple's insights offer a unique perspective on the complexities of human behaviour and cultural decline. Whether you are intrigued by the benefits of idleness, fascinated by the darker side of human nature, or interested in historical and psychological analyses, Nothing But Wickedness promises to be an enlightening and engaging read ranging across many genres like Malcolm Gladwell.
When a country is covered in trash, what does that say about its culture? This passionate plea by The Oldie columnist Theodore Dalrymple is now published for the first time in paperback.
In this perceptive and witty book, Theodore Dalrymple unmasks the sentimentality that is suffocating modern life. Under the multiple guises of raising children well, caring for the under-privileged, fighting poverty, assisting the less able, and doing good generally, we are achieving quite the opposite. Drawing on his long experience as a doctor, as well as work with thousands of criminals and the mentally disturbed as a prison psychiatrist, Dalrymple shows what happens if we feel our way rather than think well.

Teodor Dalrimpl mnogo let rabotal psikhiatrom i tjuremnym vrachom v Londone i Birmingeme. Za vremja svoej raboty on stolknulsja so mnozhestvom uzhasajuschikh, smeshnykh i pechalnykh istorij. On vystupal na rezonansnykh protsessakh kak ekspert, lechil ubijts, grabitelej i moshennikov, obschalsja s ikh zhertvami, tjuremschikami i advokatami.
