The Public Philosophy by Walter Lippmann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Here is a balanced inspection as to how a society believes. Author Lippmann takes those ideas and projects them as to future possibilities and compares to results of past ideas. The philosophical journey is a bit simplistic to more complicated philosophical examinations. This being a mass market book, it is perfect for the general public…at that time of 1954.
This book is light years over the heads of the general public today. The ejection of emotional influence would leave Americans of today lost and confused. Thinking has left us and the results are much as Lippmann projected. Just much worst.
This is fascinating reading realizing where the world was in 1954 and knowing Lippmann had no idea how warped the mindset of Americans would be in 2016. I highly recommend this book along with much of the bibliography used to build it.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of 10 points.
