Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an analysis of how societal norms, particularly in the western world, have shifted over time. The author explores the historical roots and evolution of these changes and argues that they can be attributed to three main forces: science and rationalism, the decline of religious belief, and two world wars. The author posits that as society has become more complex and interconnected, we have struggled to maintain traditional structures and values and that science and secularism have failed to provide satisfying answers to essential human questions. This insightful and thought-provoking book provides a valuable perspective on the challenges facing contemporary society and will appeal to readers interested in history, sociology, and philosophy.
