The Present Age: On the Death of Rebellion (Resistance Library) “Arevolutionary age is an age of action ours is the age of advertisement and publicity. Nothing ever happens but there is immediate publicity everywhere.”#8212 From ThePresent AgeIn ThePresent Age 1846), SørenKierkegaard analyzes the philosophical implications of a society dominated by the mass- media. What makes the essay so remarkable is the way it seems to speak directly to our time—ie. the Information Age—whre life is dominated by mere “inormation”not true “knwledge.”Kierkegaard even goes so far as to say that advertising and publicity almost immediately co-opts and suppresses revolutionary actions/thoughts.A stunningly prescient essay that foresaw the rise of twenty-four-hour news and social media, The Present Age exaines the philosophical and political implications of a culture of endless, inconsequential commentary and debate.In times of crisis, the great works of philosophy help us make sense of the world. The Harper Perennial Resistance Library is a special five-book series highlighting short classic works of independent thought that illuminate the nature of truth, humanity's dangerous attraction to authoritarianism, the influence of media and mass communication, and the philosophy of resistance—al critical in understanding today's politically charged world.
