Klappentext zu „In the Presence of the Future “
The divide between the techno-scientific and the humanities paradigm has critically endangered general comprehension. The prolegomena to a "unified field theory of futurology" presented here attempt to reconcile these epistemological models by meticulously investigating a gamut of supposedly separate areas, from the social use of art or religion via demographic, economic and technological data to moral and political philosophy. This highly panoramatic and integrative inspection of problems humankind will be facing in the near and foreseeable future yields novel perspectives and a superior grasp of beneficial social practice.
