What is Being Human : The Search for Order about?

This feels like a time of environmental and moral crisis without parallel.... Not only do human beings seem not to believe in anything but, despite exponential advances in information production, we do not appear to know much either. This book is a guide for everyone who feels understandably perplexed. The book considers issues as diverse as: the lure of alternative religions and belief systems the use of the rhetoric of economics to justify amoral decisionmaking Green politics and genetically-modifies crops New technology's power to preserve the status quo, and the true impetus behind the Human Genome Project. Presenting an explanation of recent findings in science and their relationship with society and politics, this book seeks to give guidance towards responsible political action. Starting from themes developed in the companion volume The Search for Mind, the author attempts to provide intellectual roots for the'anti-capitalist'or'anti-globalization'movement and, in particular, treats social protest as a form of knowledge-seeking. The author brings to very topical and controversial concerns some much-needed clarity. Complete with reader-friendly summaries of current thought in
