I'm currently reading A Critique of Cynical Reason by Peter Sloterdijk. His critique probes the shattering of ideals and the selling out of a generation, those who were in their 20s in the 60s. He asks the hard question of "Why be practical when the practices are corrupt?" He also asks, "Why be cynical when life's capacity for surprise is greater than any world view?"
This is pretty good stuff, and I'll be reading it in the Crocker Galleria somewhere.
