How were the books from the unmentionable times destroyed in the book Anthem?


Rate This Answer

They were destroyed by the kind of philosophy they accepted. They rejected reason, egoism, individualism and freedom-and they accepted mysticism, altruism, collectivism and dictatorship. The society presented in Anthem is the ultimate logical consequence and perfect embodiment of that vicious philosophy. Observe that the slogans of that philosophy are preached all around us today. If you don't like the kind of society you saw in Anthem, it is that philosophy that you have to reject and oppose. ChaCha!
