E-Books →The Reality of This World (PDF)

In this book, Charles P. Webel examines the theories and policies that have constructed the world as it is.

In doing so, he describes how the social and natural sciences, as well as philosophy and the humanities, have abetted our understanding of this world and explores why globalization and rationalization, as well as such "alternative realities" as digital and AI technologies, may simultaneously advance our collective well-being while also putting life on Earth at existential risk.
