From Certainty to Uncertainty: The Story of Science and Ideas in the Twentieth Century
F. David Peat
Despite all our new knowledge, our science, our international courts, the United Nations, and our ability to communicate globally so that "nation shall speak peace to nation," the terrible mess still continues. Does this mean that reason and science are insufficient? Is the human race an evolutionary experiment that is now failing to the point where it could well destroy both itself and the environment that supports it? Did human consciousness develop too rapidly to deal with the technologies it created? As moral beings, are we doomed to lapse again and again? Is there any way we can be saved?
