It is a war the West is singularly ill-equipped to fight. The foe is resistant to any of the normal methods of conflict resolution such as negotiation, economic sanctions, or conventional armed confrontation. Since the Enlightenment, the West has forgotten how to oppose fanaticism, and it is Lee Harris's goal to remind us what we are up against. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Suicide of Reason\u003c\/i\u003e, he explains the logic of fanatical movements from the Crusades through Nazism to radical Islam; describes how the Enlightenment overcame fanatical thinking in the West; shows why most Western attempts to address the problem are doomed to fail; and offers strategies by which liberal internationalism can defend itself without becoming a mirror of the tribal forces it is trying to defeat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465010229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465010226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 6.96w x 0.81d","brand":"Lee Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072294842623,"sku":"9780465010226","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ba9f068-fc56-45f9-b5c4-7385bd2027be.jpg?v=1685441102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/suicide-of-reason-lee-harris-9780465010226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
