On the Topic of Politics: An Extended Philosophical Commentary

In a land where freedom of speech and self-expression are said to hold sway, few topics inspire division like the topic of politics. In this inquiry, written in the grand tradition of Hume, Camus, Montaigne, and Zappa, Daniel Engler (Author of "The Fire in the Background" and "Players of the Argo") begins his series of philosophical treatises with a compilation of observations about the political world unfolding around us (which were too lengthy to fit into a social media post) . Explore issues like morality, individuality, the media, history, state size and power, and the ever-present threat of collectivist ideologies with humor and original insight. This work investigates the world of politics in 2020 America, where we can go from here, and why it has become so difficult to simply discuss your personal political views openly in public. Engler House invites you to be the first kid on your block to be offended by this unapologetic collection of essays and opinions on the state of our American polis. The secret to solving the messes we've made may be closer to home than you think.
