Lang 2012 Angaben aus der Verlagsmeldung In the Presence of the Future : Mapping the Roads to Tomorrow / von Georg Schmid The divide between the techno-scientific and the humanities paradigm has critically endangered general comprehension. The prolegomena to a «unified field theory of futurology» presented here attempt to reconcile these epistemological models by meticulously investigating a gamut of supposedly separate areas, from the social use of art or religion via demographic, economic and technological data to moral and political philosophy. This highly panoramatic and integrative inspection of problems humankind will be facing in the near and foreseeable future yields novel perspectives and a superior grasp of beneficial social practice. 9783631637111 9783631637111 363163711X 363163711X eng 488 S.
