Bøker av Kenneth Boulding

Originally published in 1965 this book traces the forces which have brought the 20th century 'post-civilisation' into being: the ever-increasing power of science and the scientific attitude, the global communication network, the high efficiency of industrial societies.

This text reflects interest in the relationship between the social and natural worlds. It looks at current thinking that is challenging the natural/social dichotomy thesis by showing how the application of ideas which derive from biology can be applied to, and offer insight into, the social realm.
