Description and Table of Contents
Description
Possibility is a work of general sociological and philosophical import addressed both to academics and to enquiring lay readers. Drawing on a wide variety of disciplines, the authors develop the possibilities - and to an extent the actual configurations - of a global society of the future. The book deals with the principal aspects of human experience in a double perspective: the perspective of things as they are and of things as they might be. The authors' extrapolations are bold, their conclusions challenging, even at times shocking. While they project a vision of a desirable global order, they also offer unexpected insight into the problems of today's world.
