G. H. Hardy penned A Mathematician’s Apology in the twilight of his academic career. It was at a time when the worldview fostered throughout modernism was suffering widespread critique and Hardy’s apology stands, in many ways, is a eulogy to the failing doctrine of the Enlightenment that dominated Western thought in science and aesthetics at the turn of the last century.
