Book excerpt: “One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University

Book excerpt: The Human Condition is a response to the growing disenchantment in the Western world with contemporary life. John Kekes provides rationally justified answers to questions about the meaning of life, the basis of morality, the contingencies of human lives, the prevalence of evil, the nature and extent of human responsibility, and the sources of values we prize. He offers a realistic view of the human condition that rejects both facile optimism and gloomy pessimism; acknowledges that we are vulnerable to contingencies we cannot fully control; defends a humanistic understanding of our condition; recognizes that the values worth pursuing are plural, often conflicting, and that there are many reasonable conceptions of well-being. Kekes emphasizes the importance of facing the fact that man's inhumanity to man is widespread. He rejects as simple-minded both the view that human nature is basically good and that it is basically bad, and argues that our well-being depends on coping with the complex truth that human nature is basically complicated. Finally, Kekes argues that the scheme of things is indifferent to our fortunes and that we can rely only on our own resources to make what we can of our lives.

Book excerpt: The human condition is the print or manner in which you and humanity influence those around, the human environment, the entire world, and Life herself. Furthermore, the specific human conditions that you enhance yourself come back to influence you just as well, knowingly or unknowingly. And it is very easy for me to write in these books how wonderful and harmonious you should be in this world while bringing your most favorable contribution to this world, but you always interconnect with this world as best as you can, favorably and unfavorably, just as those around constrain and allow you, only to be able to fulfill your needs. Since as you study history, some people choose to die than to become dreadful conditions in this world, while others never care, and now this is this world. While there are always tyrants throughout the upper layers of society seeking to be the worst conditions possible in this world, only to debilitate this world, rendering it controllable, discriminatory, and therefore exploitable. Since just as you remain aware of all environmental conditions influencing your own fulfillment and condition in life, in society, and in this world, you should remain aware of all conditions that you leave behind through your own life and behavior. Because just as life copes with the environment throughout a continuous toil as science describes, this outside environment is alive itself, it is part of life, it is made of life, and it has you in it just as well, along with your loved ones and your entire condition and contribution to this world. But if you give in and see your environment as a continuously challenging harmful condition since this is what science states, then you engage in win-lose interactions with the environment unnecessarily, while the environment is similar to you, formed of life, people, and the entire human society. And now, if you become a negative condition of this world by engaging in win-lose interactions with this world, knowingly or unknowingly, the entire world has to cope with you, exactly as science states. While as an unfavorable condition in this world, you do not stand a chance, because you are one and they are an entire world, with or against you. Unless you are organized in this world, to have people against people in this world, which is the most dreadful condition in this world. Because life, this world, and the human society are very complex, swinging continuously with and against you, since your environment is filled up with conditions that are good, bad, favorable, unfavorable, natural, and consensual, as it is significant to identify, predict, and control them. Throughout this book, we study the human condition along with all environmental conditions influencing the human existence, as the human condition in life and in this world, the human social condition, and the human higher conditions. We also identify all favorable and unfavorable existential elements along with their consequences, for a better fulfillment.

Book excerpt: This text is intended to be something of a reflective journey. One that follows the rise of consciousness suggested as an information-processing mode of development. The journey comes to involve a consideration of the development of civil life - religion, the sciences, philosophy, governance, the arts - A primary theme is 'evil' and how this has been expressed as an integral, if dismal, aspect of humankind's history. As well as being descriptive and analytic, the text also seeks to offer a challenge to the reader. For you to decide whether to go through life more as a passive observer accepting the relativity of your social circumstances ......or to seek to transcend these and chose to engage with the global issues - environment, conflict, inequality - facing humankind as a species. To, in effect, chose to become entangled with the issues of our time.

Download or read book Adaptive Learning and the Human Condition written by Jeffrey C. Levy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive Learning and the Human Condition presents the basic principles of classical (Pavlovian) and instrumental (Skinnerian) conditioning in a more coherent and expansive manner than is the case in other textbooks. Learning is defined as an adaptive process through which individuals acquire the ability to predict, and where possible, control the environment. This overarching definition enables integration of traditional Pavlovian and Skinnerian principles and terminology and makes explicit why treatment of the learning process is essentially limited to these two historical research paradigms. Pavlov developed a methodology for studying animals under circumstances where they could predict, but not control, sequences of environmental events. Skinner studied animals under circumstances where their behavior had an effect upon environmental events. Observational learning and symbolic communication (i.e., spoken or written language) are incorporated as indirect learning processes through which individuals can acquire the ability to predict or control. This treatment creates a perspective within which it is possible to consider the fundamental nature of the learning process in understanding the human condition and in addressing significant individual and social concerns. Examples of applications and issues not included in similar textbooks include: The role of classical and instrumental conditioning in language acquisition The administration of rewards and punishers in Baumrind’s parental styles as related to Kohlberg’s stages of moral development Stone-Age hunter-gatherer and technologically-advanced cultures: How did we get from there to here? Self-control and self-actualization While covering traditional technical and theoretical issues, the book is written in a clear, engaging style. The narrative builds across chapters, culminating in the treatment of applications and societal concerns of import and interest to students and faculty alike. Upon completing this book, readers should be able to: explain the significance of human condition through adaptive learning; present the basic principles of classical and instrumental conditioning; and understand the significance of scientific research
