Cultural Pessimism charts the growth of pessimism in the West during the last decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on studies from a broad range of fields, the author shows how cultural pessimism in the postmodern world can be related to the cumulative effect of four key narratives of decline: environmental, moral, intellectual, and political. Proposing that cultural pessimism isas much a matter of psychological and biological disposition as of intellectual judgement, Oliver Bennetts challenging book offers valuable new insights into how we view the prospects of the twenty-first century.Narratives of Decline in the Postmodern World. Cultural pessimism arises with the conviction that the culture of a nation, a civilization or of humanity itself is in a process of irreversible decline. In an incisive and wide-ranging analysis, this text charts the growth of pessimism in the West during the last decades of the 20th century.
