Informationen zum Autor Bernard Phillips, Louis C. Johnston Klappentext Is there a growing gap in today 's world between cultural aspirations and their fulfillment, a gap that is increasing social problems of all kinds? If so, what forces are producing that gap? How can these forces be changed?To answer these questions, Phillips and Johnston employ a very broad approach to the scientific method, drawing evidence from a wide variety of data and sources, including sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, historians, philosophers, educators, psychiatrists, and novelists.They find substantial evidence for a widening gap, suggesting an invisible crisis throughout contemporary society. They also find substantial evidence that a simplistic and static metaphysical stance or worldview is largely responsible for that gap, and that an alternative worldview can work to close that gap. Zusammenfassung Is there a growing gap in the world between cultural aspirations and their fulfilment, a gap that is increasing social problems of all kinds? Aiming to answer this question, this book shows that a static metaphysical stance or worldview is largely responsible for that gap, and that an alternative worldview can work to close that gap.
