Thinking the Unthinkable

A Paradigm for Peace

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Many scientists believe that Man has so systematically ravished our planetary home that we are beyond the point where there is hope for its continuation. "Thinking the Unthinkable: A Paradigm for Peace" offers hope in the form of an alternative - one requiring a move from our present flawed fragmented thinking which has led to the trajectory 'of mastery, power and exploitation' to one embracing a new paradigm, which amounts to a psychosocial revolution which St. Thomas, Socrates, and Jung propounded many years ago - the need to 'know thyself.' "Drawing on her experience, but taking also a broad view incorporating the findings from a number of fields in science, Wendy Jordan Thomson has written one of the most thoughtful books on the Shadow aspect of human nature. There are in this book the beginnings of a new way of looking at and confronting human destructiveness. The perspective she puts forward has implications for many aspects of society and will understandably stimulate further research into this topic, one of the most serious hindrances to further human evolution. It is a book the importance of which extends far beyond the strictly academic and reaches out to the ordinary individual. It can be recommended to everyone." David Shields - Philosopher and psychologist
