Manufacturing Social Distress

More about the book

Exploring the concept of human wickedness, this book challenges two significant obstacles: inappropriate scientism and moralism. It critiques a scientific perspective that minimizes human agency in global events, framing human behavior as a mere response to external factors rather than recognizing individuals' and societies' roles in shaping outcomes. The author argues for a more nuanced understanding of human conduct, suggesting that decisions and policies are crucial in regulating behavior, countering the reductionist view of natural law as the sole determinant of actions.
