Product Description:

In these turbulent times when wars, religious, strife, stifling bureaucracy and urban decay threaten our very humanity, reducing us to social statistics, a fresh approach to the creation of a truly viable society is desperately needed. In this intellectual tour de force, J. Donald Walters, analyses, with deep insight, the views expressed by many of the great thinkers in the West, including Plato, Copernicus, Machiavelli, Malthus, Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. He studies their conceptions and misconceptions about the individual's relation to himself and to society. He shows where their influence has proved adverse, then offers deeply considered, fresh alternatives. Walters urges the reader to resist the hypnosis of "intellectual authority." Seek the key to a happy and fulfilled life, he says, in personal integrity. In his last chapter he draws on his own experience in developing co-operative communities. He describes how they can encourage a common-sense way of life, deepen human relationships, and inspire people to fulfil their own higher potentials. HOPE FOR A BETTER WORLD! offers compelling solutions to many of the challenges that face humanity today. Indeed, it succeeds - originally and excitingly - in offering real hope for a better world.
