Hubris: Perennial Problems in the Present Time
An exploration of what the author identifies as the primary human failing, hubris, and its manifestation in the present time. "Hubris" is a characterization of human nature, and identification of the primary human problem, an exploration of how that problem has created our present situation, and a critique of modernity.
"Hubris" covers a wide field of knowledge, ranging over multifarious varieties of inquiry to support its central point. Examples from philosophy, history, biology, and more are used to build the thesis, with fictional vignettes, metaphors, and analogies used to bring to light a concept that has been lost on modern man for decades, if not centuries. "Hubris" illuminates the problems of the modern age.
