Publisher's Synopsis
Neo-Rationality and the Environment: A Paradigm Shift for Survival, versatile scholar, philosopher, spiritualist, visionary, and writer Anne Merkley guides the reader through the labyrinth of a paradigm shift in our manner of thinking about the world. She believes that the only way this book avoids being a eulogy for a dying planet and for culture as we know it is if fundamental changes take place within the realm of human consciousness. In the new paradigm the effects of population growth and increased standards of living must be defined, identified, critiqued and reevaluated. Neo-Rationality and the Environment is the result of decades of interdisciplinary study that weds the fields of anthropology, psychology, ecology, economics, and politics into a unified whole. It brings the principles of human thought processes up through centuries of evolution and applies them to currently unprecedented crises. Says the author, "This message is sent to all inhabitants on planet Earth, from the heart, for our very survival."
