Humanity is at a critical juncture in its history. In the last 400 years, humanity has been going through the most profound cultural change in human history. Western culture - and other cultures as well - have in large measure accepted a view of reality as being explainable solely in material terms. This fundamental philosophy has shaped all areas of human activity. This book both describes this phenomenon and evaluates whether there are good reasons to accept it. The author argues that if we adopt such a philosophy, then we have no basis for upholding the dignity of each human being, and this has vast and frightening consequences for human beings. This book is not just timely, but absolutely critical for everybody to read. It is not presented in dry, abstract terms, but in the language of humanity. It is a cry from a human heart, deeply concerned about what is taking place in the world. It is one of the most important books of our time.
