The book delves into various social, political, and cultural commentary, focusing on topics such as modern sentimentality, the implications of war, and the dynamics of gender in society. Repplier examines contemporary issues through a critical lens, often contrasting emotionalism with rationality and long-held traditions. The opening of "Counter-Currents" presents a sharp critique of modern sentiment, suggesting that contemporary emotional responses can cloud judgment and lead to misguided conclusions in both social and political spheres. Repplier discusses the rise of social and philanthropic sentiment, warning against the dangers of excessive emotionalism that can undermine justice and truth. She reflects on how this trend affects perceptions of war and responsibility, illustrated through examples from politics, journalism, and personal anecdotes, highlighting a dichotomy between sentimentality and the realities of human conditions and choices.
