Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From Knowledge to Wisdom argues that there is an urgent need, for both intellectual and humanitarian reasons, to bring about a revolution in science and the humanities. The outcome would be a kind of academic inquiry rationally devoted to helping humanity learn how to create a better world. The basic intellectual aim of inquiry would be to seek and promote wisdom - wisdom being the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others, thus including knowledge and technological know-how, but much else besides. \* 'There are altogether too many symptoms of malaise in our science-based society for Nicholas Maxwell's diagnosis to be ignored.' Professor Christopher Longuet-Higgins, Nature. \* 'a strong effort is needed if one is to stand back and clearly state the objections to the whole enormous tangle of misconceptions which surround the notion of science to-day. Maxwell has made that effort in this powerful, profound and important book.' Dr. Mary Midgley, University Quarterly. \* 'The essential idea is really so simple, so transparently right . It is a profound book, refreshingly unpretentious, and deserves to be read, refined and implemented.' Dr. Stewart Richards, Annals of Science. This second edition is revised throughout, has additional material and three new chapters.…
