Citation
Description The first chapter states that traditional philosophy has had positive effect on human intellectual development but that it hasn't dealt with economic and technological matters. In the second chapter states that culture is a young foreign system in the biosphere, that it is an artificial being inside an older and wider natural being. The third chapter notes that the contemporary unclear concept of culture is one of the causes for human social resignation and skepticism. In the fourth chapter states that economics is not only the means of satisfying human needs but also a factor in the redevelopment of the Earth's natural environment. The fifth chapter discusses the decline in the traditional human labor. In the sixth chapter the author depicts cognition as acquisition of relevant information from the external environment. The seventh chapter notes that science isn't just a blessing for the poor and starving humankind anymore, but that it has its part of responsibility for the contemporary crisis.
