Rezensionen

"Paulsen's book is a fascinating and penetrating analysis of our late-modern anxieties when we are confronted with the basic uncontrollability of the world - and a passionate plea for regaining a robust trust in life that does not depend on control and domination."

Hartmut Rosa, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany
