More about the book
Auden's exploration of the roles of creators and consumers in society highlights the tension between artistic integrity and political engagement. Drawing inspiration from Blake's work, he categorizes individuals into the Prolific—those who contribute to society—and the Devourers—those who exploit these contributions. The book comprises aphorisms, reflections, and examples from various fields, ultimately delving into the interplay of faith, politics, and human nature. Auden's inner conflict regarding spirituality and pacifism is articulated through a question-and-answer format, enriching the discourse on moral values.
