In Society as a Department Store Ryszard Legutko wrestles with the
emancipatory ideology promulgated by postmodernists, libertarians,
and liberal thinkers. Legutko argues that modern Western liberals
have embraced a revolutionary ethic; they have turned their backs
on their own cultural heritage, and used its political and
ideological apparatus to destroy classical metaphysics and
epistemology. The book considers the paradoxical implications of
this state of affairs for Eastern European intellectuals arguing
that, with the triumph of liberalism over communism, these
intellectuals feel compelled to digest an ideology that shares many
elements with the oppressive system from which they just liberated
themselves. Based on hubris rather than genuine humane concerns,
Legutko mourns not simply the loss of faith in classical Western
culture, but the way in which that loss is becoming a central point
of identity.
