Philosophers' Cafe: Is There Hope for Humanity?
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Since the beginning of the Holocene, when humans killed off the woolly mammoth, mastodon and Cro-Magnon, they have set the course for an ecological nightmare. Human nature is neither tabula rasa nor “noble savage” as many in the social sciences endorse. The history of humankind is replete with patriarchy, forced servitude, slavery, pogroms, genocides, and warfare -- with religions and political ideologies rationalizing these cruelties. Against this bleak prognosis, is there hope for humankind? The facilitator, John Anderson, is an Honourary Research Associate (Criminology) at Vancouver Island University. His main areas of interest are corporate and state crime. He enjoys reading, hiking, mountain-biking, and contemplating the future of humanity.
