Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Tantalus or the Future of Man' is a provocative and insightful philosophical essay that examines the precarious state of human civilization. Written by the noted pragmatist philosopher F. C. S. Schiller, this work explores the widening gap between man's rapid scientific and technological adv…ancement and his stagnant moral and biological development. Drawing on the Greek myth of Tantalus-who was eternally frustrated by desires just out of reach-Schiller argues that humanity faces a similar peril: the potential for self-destruction due to an inability to adapt primitive instincts to the demands of a complex modern society.The text delves into the limitations of traditional education and political systems, while considering the roles of psychology and biology in shaping the destiny of the species. Schiller offers a biting critique of contemporary social structures, questioning whether mankind possesses the wisdom to guide its own evolution or if it is doomed to collapse under the weight of its own progress. 'Tantalus or the Future of Man' remains a significant historical document in the study of social philosophy, providing a window into the intellectual anxieties of the interwar period and the perennial quest to understand the trajectory of the human race.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
