Descripción Paperback. Condición: Like New. Paperback. Like New. In this critical book ---which builds on ideas set forth in THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION and THE STEALING OF AMERICA ---John Whitehead examines patterns of thought arising out of scientific determinism and advancing technology. Together these forces have eroded the traditional view of man made in God's image and replaced it with a relativistic, dehumanized view. The result has been wholesale destruction of human life; 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps; 12 million peasants in Stalin's death camps; 18 million unborn babies in American abortuaries. Now, at the end of the 20th century, two millennia since the birth of Christ, man faces the greatest threat ever: total annihilation. A new breed of death dealer is beginning to gain prominence. Eugenics is being promoted under the name "biomedical ethics"; genocide is now called "population planning"; abortifacient drugs are being readied for widespread distribution; and artificial intelligence threatens to overpower man himself, replacing human reasoning with electromechanical reactions. How did we get into this mess? What can be done to stop this madness? IN THE END OF MAN, John Whitehead clearly traces the present situation back to its historical and intellectual roots. He builds a powerful case drawn from the writings of leading thinkers of the day --C. S. Lewis, Jacques Ellul, Malcolm Muggeridge, and others. Thoroughly documented with footnotes and a lengthy bibliography, Whitehead's assessment of the times is supported by an enormous body of research. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2259
