Book SynopsisTrade Review"A profoundly insightful and indeed magisterial new book. . . . [
The Two Greatest Ideas] is a wild and informative ride through the centuries and up to what may intellectually come next in the human adventure. It was a marvel of an experience."
---Tom V. Morris, Plato's Lemonade Stand: Stirring Change into Something Great"
Zagzebski offers a fascinating meta-level view of these two foundational ideas, taking readers on a journey that includes the many connections between cultural developments, not least the current politically polarized situation in the US. The book is well written and should be accessible to intelligent lay readers.
