O Liberalismo

John Nicholas Gray (born 17 April 1948) is an English political philosopher. He was a lecturer at the School of European Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is a regular contributor to The Guardian, The Times Literary Supplement and the New Statesman.
The author of several important books, he has written several influential books, including False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism (1998), where he argues that the globalization of the free market is an unstable Enlightenment project currently in the process of disintegration, in On Humans and Other Animals (Portuguese edition, 2007), he attacks philosophical humanism, a worldview that empowers extremist religious ideologies and in Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia (2007), makes a critique of the utopian thinking of the modern world. Gray considers morality to be an illusion and portrays humanity as a voracious species determined to exterminate other forms of life. Gray writes that "human beings... they cannot destroy the Earth, but they can easily destroy the environment that sustains them."
