In Search of Human Nature

Description:

Biologist Clark proceeds from two basic premises: how we humans "see" reality is always constructed (some kind of map is essential for society, but as circumstances change, that map must be revised) and a single world view-that of the West-is becoming increasingly dominant around the planet (yet it makes certain assumptions leading to dangerous, indeed pathological consequences for all humans). The social theories on which the Western world view and its institutions is based demand revision. [publisher web site].
