Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound differences between the natural and civilized states of human existence, arguing that the unnatural, overcivilized lives we lead are ultimately detrimental to both our bodies and souls. The author draws upon insights from ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, literature, and history to illuminate this contrast and demonstrate the superiority of a more natural way of life. Ultimately, the book posits that the civilized state of humanity is unsustainable and proposes a coming cataclysm as a form of divine intervention that will usher in a new era of existence more in harmony with nature.
