Description
Erasmus deploys irony and satire with surgical precision to expose the follies of Renaissance society—from corrupt clergy to pompous scholars to self-deceiving lovers—while praising Folly as the animating force of human survival. His paradoxical wisdom suggests that humanity's greatest achievements spring not from reason but from beautiful, necessary delusion.
