Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: NEAR FINE. First edition. Interviews with 22 thinkers, artists, scientists, statesmen, and philosophers, originally published as part of a series in the Christian Science Monitor. "While the group generally agrees on the set of issues most critically in need of addressing, there is often sharp disagreement over the c…ourse the future will take.Educator Michael Hooker, for instance, foresees a world in which technology has solved humanity's survival questions, and in which the main problem is an excess of leisure time. The Russian poet Andrei Voznesensky, on the other hand, worries about human beings becoming increasingly standardized, resembling more and more the robots they have created. Philosopher Mortimer Adler calls for a massive commitment to education in critical thinking, without which, he says, democracy cannot survive. Historian Barbara Tuchman and novelist Carlos Fuentes each focus on the need to restore a greater sense of morality, both public and private. . Others interviewed by Kidder include Sissela Bok, Jimmy Carter, Norman Cousins, Freeman Dyson, Amitai Etzioni, Douglas Fraser, Theodore Gordon, Hanna Gray, Paul Johnson, Shuichi Kato, Robert McNamara, Olesegun Obasanjo, David Packard, Lloyd Richards, Abdus Salam, Richard von Weizsacker, and Marina Whitman." Illustrated with small photographs, index. xxi. 216 pp. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.
