About this title

Synopsis

What if everything we thought we knew about the world and our place in it was wrong?

Welcome to "Creative Uncertainty" by David Keppel - a book that will challenge your thinking and inspire you to make positive changes in your life and in the world around you.

Have you ever wondered how humans have come so close to destroying the biosphere and putting our own survival at risk?

In this thought-provoking book, David Keppel explores this question and provides a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues facing us today.

Drawing on his father's earlier work and his own extensive research, David takes a broad approach to the subject, exploring history, cosmology, evolution, philosophy, and current politics. He uncovers fascinating findings from across these diverse fields and applies them to suggest a new ethic of resilience - one that can help us face the urgent challenges of climate change and other pressing issues.

But "Creative Uncertainty" is more than just a book about the environment. It's an invitation to think differently and to challenge the flaws in our way of thinking and acting. David argues that philosophy has lost its way in the search for certainty, but that a new philosophy of nature offers a way forward.

He encourages us to embrace uncertainty and to see it as an opportunity for creativity and adaptation.

This is a book that will inspire you to make positive changes in your life and in the world around you. It will challenge you to think differently and to consider new ways of approaching some of the most pressing issues of our time.

So, if you're ready to explore a new philosophy of nature and to embrace creative uncertainty, then "Creative Uncertainty" is the book for you.

Order your copy today and start changing the world!

David received a B.A., M.A. with First Class Honors in English Language and Literature from Oxford. He was a member of the National Strategy Committee of the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign and is an author of 94 published letters on peace and disarmament in The New York Times.
