About this book

Desiderius Erasmus' In Praise of Folly is one of the most brilliant and biting works of satire from the European Renaissance. Written in the voice of Folly personified, this playful yet scathing text critiques the corruption, vanity, and hypocrisy of the Church, the academic world, and society at large. Erasmus, a devoted humanist, uses wit and irony to call for a return to authentic Christian values — humility, charity, and introspection — while exposing the intellectual and moral failures of his time. With its lively tone and fearless social critique, In Praise of Folly has endured as both a literary masterpiece and a philosophical provocation. It remains a must-read for lovers of satire, theology, and Renaissance thought.
