Описание: Science and technology have made the modern world possible, but also created all the global problems that threaten our future: the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, mass extinction of species, environmental degradation, overpopulation, lethal modern war, and the menace of nuclear weapons. Nicholas Maxwell, world-renowned philosopher of science and author of 14 books, argues that all these problems have come about because humans have solved only the first of two great problems of learning — how to acquire scientific knowledge and technological know-how — but not the second — how to create a civilized, wise world.The key disaster of our times is that we have science without wisdom. At present, universities all over the world are devoted to the pursuit of specialized knowledge and technology, or 'knowledge-inquiry'. Maxwell contends that they need to be radically transformed so that their basic function becomes to help humanity tackle global problems, with a more rigorous and socially beneficial perspective he calls 'wisdom-inquiry'. The World Crisis — And What to Do About It spells out in detail the changes that need to be made to academic inquiry, why they need to be made, and how they would enable universities to help humanity actively and effectively tackle and solve current global problems.Related Link(s)

Описание: In Praise of Natural Philosophy argues for a transformation of both science and philosophy, so that these two distinct domains of thought become one: natural philosophy. This in turn has far-reaching consequences for the whole academic enterprise. It transpires that universities need to be reorganized so that they become devoted to seeking and promoting wisdom by rational means – as opposed to just acquiring knowledge. Modern science began as natural philosophy. What today we call science and philosophy, in Newton's time formed one integrated enterprise: to improve our knowledge and understanding of the universe. Profound discoveries were made. And then natural philosophy died. It split into science and philosophy. But the two fragments are defective shadows of the glorious unified endeavour of natural philosophy. Rigour, sheer intellectual good sense, and decisive argument demand that we put the two together again, and rediscover the immense merits of the integrated enterprise of natural philosophy. This requires an intellectual revolution, with profound consequences for how we understand the universe, do both science and philosophy, and tackle global problems. A comprehensive addition to discussions about the purposes of academia, In Praise of Natural Philosophy has dramatic implications for the fate of our world.

It is only through recognition that constructive discourse becomes possible. This book offers all the basics to be able to theoretically and practically solve communication conflicts between defense and recognition in the climate crisis.

For an individual's condition to be considered a social, political, racial, economic, or religious concern, a portion of the population typically agrees these conditions present complications in society and should be reformed.
Today, the United States of America maintains an unrivaled global superiority in terms of economics, military, political influence, technology, and innovation. The reality, in fact, is the United States has never been united on major social, racial, civil rights, economic, religious, political, or moral issues that are important to its citizens and, unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon. The situation has persisted for the last couple of centuries, since before the Civil War. Although the United States maintains an outer fa ade of peace and harmony, its soul is beset with an ideological crisis that is gradually transforming into a full-fledged ideological civil war in this country.
What is United about the United States of America--The Ugly untold Truth provides an in-depth look at these issues which have divided America since the forming of this great nation. The goal is to spark intellectual and honest conversation among Americans from all walks of life to find common ground and understanding. These issues have been robbing America of its great soul for decades, and if this trend continues, America will see its end, not at the hands of a foreign power/nation, but from within.
