The foundations of Western civilisation remain the only path to a future of freedom and peace. In his book, Michael Esfeld calls for an end to the disempowerment caused by an overreaching state.

Scientism, ‘wokeness’, the welfare state: in his book, Prof. Esfeld sets out a philosophical alternative to the disempowerment of the individual.
