Product Information

Compared with that of humans, the life of the marionette looks more like an enviable state of freedom In his brilliantly enjoyable and freewheeling new book, John Gray draws together the religious, philosophic, and fantastical traditions that question the very idea of human freedom. We flatter ourselves about the nature of free will and yet the most enormous forces--logical, physical, metaphysical--constrain our every action. Many writers and intellectuals have always understood this, but instead of embracing our condition we battle against it, with everyone from world conquerors to modern scientists dreaming of a "human dominion" almost comically at odds with our true state. Filled with wonderful examples and drawing on the widest possible reading (from the Gnostics to Philip K. Dick), The Soul of the Marionette is a stimulating and engaging meditation on everything from cybernetics to the fairground marionettes of the title.

Reviews
Gray connects the dots among science fiction (including that of Stanislaw Lem), Borges, the human-sacrificing Aztecs, global warming, and the loss of privacy (and freedom) that the cyberrevolution has wrought, challenging readers to make some leaps of logic and come to counterintuitive conclusions., This powerful and brilliant book is an essential guide to the new millennium. Straw Dogs challenges all our assumptions about what it is to be human, and convincingly shows that most of them are delusions., "[ The Soul of the Marionette] is pervaded by the signature skepticism of its author, a British philosopher. Trapped in bodies, burdened by mortality, and 'cursed with self-reflective thought,' we are limited in our freedom. Gray dismisses modern rationalism, with its faith in human progress, as a kind of Gnosticism made from 'scraps of decayed Christianity,' whose central myth is that knowledge will set us free. Spirited tours through the lives and work of various artists add texture to his provocative arguments." -- The New Yorker "Illusion-piercing sobriety." -- Booklist (starred review) "[A]n intelligently written, thought-provoking book." -- Publishers Weekly "Gray connects the dots among science fiction (including that of Stanislaw Lem), Borges, the human-sacrificing Aztecs, global warming, and the loss of privacy (and freedom) that the cyberrevolution has wrought, challenging readers to make some leaps of logic and come to counterintuitive conclusions." -- Kirkus Reviews, [ The Soul of the Marionette] is pervaded by the signature skepticism of its author, a British philosopher.
