Civilization and the Human Sense of Self

A landmark work from speaker, writer, and activist Charles Eisenstein, who explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self Our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them.

A landmark work from speaker, writer, and activist Charles Eisenstein, who explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self Our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse. Fortunately, an Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in self-discovery. Even in our darkest hour, Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful world--not through the extension of millennia-old methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build ever-higher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilization--one designed for beauty rather than height. A tour-de-force filled with astounding insight, wit, wisdom and heart. --Christopher Uhl, author of Developing Ecological Consciousness: Paths to a Sustainable Future Quite marvelous, a hugely important work. This book is truly needed in this time of deepening crisis. --John Zerzan, author of Future Primitive and Elements of Refusal
