What's wrong with the world

Meer over het boek

The book critiques the contemporary tendency to modify human nature to accommodate societal conditions rather than transforming society to align with human values. It argues that if certain practices or systems, like soap boiling or civilization, conflict with fundamental ideals such as brotherhood or democracy, the responsibility lies with those practices or systems to change, not with the ideals themselves. This perspective challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between human values and societal structures.
