Review title: Thought provoking
Product review: John Ralston Saul has the ability to identify the core matters that affect how people experience the world. His exploration of the six dimensions of human-kind that underpin our humanity is often provocative, and always stimulates the thinking of the reader. But he uses many words, and doesn't choose them particularly well. It's a difficult read and would have benefited from more careful editing. It is, however, very topical in relation to the impending American onslaught on Iraq. He identifies the fear of uncertainty as a key motivation for the adeherence to ideologies (such as those that guide the Bush Administration). Fear of uncertainty (Saul says) is an obstruction to thought - it's easier to embrace the simple guidance of (especially) conservative (and insular) ideology that America uses to protect it from an uncertain world. And that is what makes the book so topical.A difficult read, but worth it.
