The Lucifer Principle (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Howard Bloom | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Now in a revised tenth-anniversary edition, The Lucifer Principle is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to argue that evil is woven into our biological fabric. Intensely controversial and polarizing upon its initial publication, The Lucifer Principle is a sweeping narrative that challenges some of our most popular scientific assumptions. Drawing on evidence ranging from studies of the most primitive organisms to those on ants, apes, and humankind, Howard Bloom argues that nature uses evil not to destroy but to create and to build, moving the human world to greater heights of organization, intricacy, and power. In this special revised edition, Bloom provides a new introduction detailing the book s enduring impact and an extensive afterword discussing its relevance in a post 9/11 world and the current state of Islamic militancy versus Islamic moderates.
