| Publisher Description: This title exposes the extent to which criteria appertaining to good and evil, not to mention wisdom and folly, are significantly dependent on the nature of the society of which they are a part, so that at the end of the day it isn't whether this or that is right or wrong, good or bad, but what exactly conditions people to take one view or another that really matters, and this, not surprisingly, is to a large extent dependent on which gender is effectively controlling society and whether or not there has been a 'transvaluation of values' (Nietzsche) sympathetic to a formal departure from sensuality to sensibility. For what is 'right' in sensuality can become very 'wrong' from the standpoint of sensibility, provided society has officially gravitated to such a standpoint - something, the author argues, which contemporary civilization, characterized as urban proletarian and formatively global within a secular framework, has yet to do, with consequences that would reverse much of what currently passes for 'good' and 'wise'. - A Centretruths editorial |
