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 reshaping society to align with human values. It argues that if certain practices, like soap boiling, conflict with ideals such as brotherhood, the practices should be reconsidered, not the ideals. The author emphasizes the importance of preserving fundamental human principles, like democracy, even in the face of challenges posed by civilization.
