MODERN SCEPTICISM: : A COLLECTION OF 100 STORIES

Modern Scepticism: A Collection of 100 Stories by Kirill Korolev invites readers into the quiet, observant world of a reflective sceptic navigating contemporary life. Through fragments of everyday experience: waiting in line, browsing books, encountering art, watching a film, the stories reveal how meaning is often displaced by symbols, convenience and inherited narratives. Across the collection, Modern Scepticism emerges as a reflective practice: a way of noticing patterns, questioning assumptions and engaging attentively with the world.The sceptic resists fixed labels, measures time deliberately and privileges lived experience over abstraction. Within this framework, moments of unstructured leisure or the quiet refuge of an in-between social space acquire particular significance, affirming presence as an end. Modern Scepticism also allows for joy without justification. Not every pleasure must be productive, nor every expense accounted for. At times, something as simple as a Hawaiian shirt or a place to linger is sufficient to register the ongoing vitality of everyday life.Dr. Nelia Koroleva
