Krátky popis
A provocative and balanced examination of our current social and
political situation -- by a cutting-edge philosopher of our
times.&,nbsp,The world is in turmoil. As populist waves roil
the Brexit-bound U.K., along with Europe, Turkey, Russia, Asia--and
most visibly, the U.S. with the election of Donald
Trump--nationalist and extremist political forces threaten the
progress made over many decades. Democracies are reeling in the
face of nihilism and narcissism. How did we get here? And how, with
so much antagonism, cynicism, and discord, can we mend the ruptures
in our societies?&,nbsp,In this provocative work, philosopher
Ken Wilber applies his Integral approach to explain how we arrived
where we are and why there is cause for hope. He lays much of the
blame on a failure at the progressive, leading edge of society.
This leading edge is characterized by the desire to be as just and
inclusive as possible, and to it we owe the thrust toward women's
rights, the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, and
the concern for oppression in all its forms. This is all
evolutionarily healthy, what is unhealthy is a creeping
postmodernism that is elitist, ",politically correct,", insistent
on an egalitarianism that is itself paradoxically hierarchical, and
that looks down on ",deplorables.", Combine this with the
techno-economic demise of many traditional ways of making a living,
and you get an explosive mixture. As Wilber says, for some Trump
voters: ",Everywhere you are told that you are fully equal and
deserve immediate and complete empowerment, yet everywhere are
denied the means to actually achieve it. You suffocate, you suffer,
and you get very, very mad.",&,nbsp,It is only when members of
society's leading edge can heal themselves that a new, Integral
evolutionary force can emerge to move us beyond the social and
political turmoil of our current time to offer genuine leadership
toward greater wholeness.
