Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In spite of their achievements, modern societies tend to behave as our ancestors did. This may have worked for us in ancient times, but is likely to destroy us in today's interconnected world. The ability to think critically - and to act - can help us as individuals to protect our world, and be all…the happier for it.A philosophical and social critique, in which Thomas Hobbes is rescued from his absolutist portrayal, fascinating parallels are drawn between modern issues and historical precedents. Ranging far and wide - ancient Rome, Hitler, African genocides, Rabbi Hillel - the author considers political structures, environmental concerns, and economic shibboleths.The book later moves to personal happiness, materialism, and social change. In the search for critical thinking, the reputation of George Orwell is also reconsidered in the conflict between the personal and the political.Psychologist and polymath Cole Davis brings to bear his knowledge and distinctive writing style to this splendidly argued volume. This is a short book with plentiful content.
