In Stupidity Avital Ronell explores the fading empire of cognition, modulating stupidity into idiocy, puerility, and the figure of the ridiculous philosopher instituted by Kant. Drawing on a range of writers including Dostoevsky, Schlegel, Musil, and Wordsworth, Stupidity investigates ignorance, dumbfounded-ness, and the limits of reason.

Описание: "The Great Stupidity" is a witty work of fiction that offers a satirical look at an historic public health crisis. Author Andy Lazris transports readers back in time as the Black Death strikes a small village in France. Village leaders send off a blacksmiths son on a ridiculous quest to cure the disease - and on his journey he encounters many "experts" who "know" how to solve this crisis. A black comedy with 12 songs, the book is an historical mirror through which we can view ourselves, because as our heroes learn, those who think they know it all usually are just out for themselves, while goodness and friendship are really the best cures of all. As the Black Death wreaks havoc and well - death - a young boy sets out to find the other half of Saint Ambroses toenail which was stolen from their artifact collection, thinking that it is the reason for the plague. On his way, the boy encounters many who think they know everything, but actually know little to nothing. He encounters "experts" ranging from Flagellates who whip themselves, to zealots who seek to kill Jews, to scientists who claim everyone must wave their hands and build 6 foot walls, to the Pope who sells indulgences before running away, to well-off monks who dip holy artifacts into water and sell them, and to doctors and soldiers who believe you have to kill people in order to save them. Most of the events and people in the book are based on historical reality, and the books many adventures, encounters, and comedic moments reflect the truth of what transpired 800 years ago, and what we are experiencing during the contemporary pandemic. All the songs are performed by professional artists and are woven into the fabric of the narrative.

The reader will find the book revealing with sporadic tragedy and humor. It is based on the author's upbringing by struggling parents with many children. Working as a journalist on various English-language newspapers was equally dangerous. Many of his colleagues were detained and tortured by the South African government for exposing the country's injustices to the outside world during student protests against apartheid, laws that separated citizens on the bases of race, skin color, ethnicity, and designated living areas under the Group Areas Act.
The author was forced to flee the country after he realized he had taken a big risk by allowing student leaders to hold nightly political meetings in his Soweto house while government Security Branch policemen were on the prowl. He could not imagine himself giving evidence for the State against his detained colleagues. That was one of the reasons he left the country and began life as a refugee, away from his wife and seven-year-old daughter.
A collection of daily, sometimes multiple-daily political columns during 100 days of the Coronavirus pandemic. Columns include both straight opinions of the author, as well as hysterical parodies and satire.
