Product Description

For hundreds of millennia, thousands of tribal cultures have thrived throughout the planet, each possessing a unique Vision, derived from thousands of years of evolution. With their deep ties to the world around them they experienced a communion with life, which offered a spiritual sense of overwhelming interconnectedness with the land, the plants, the animals, and each other. But one culture evolved to dominate all others, and linear history was created.

Now a new reality has been built over the former surface of the planet, not only altering the biosphere, but also what is available for us to interact with and relate to. We struggle with the meaningless daily rote duties of our jobs. We live sequestered lives in houses and apartments, cut off from our neighbors, woefully uninformed in a sea of trivial information. Unprecedented resource extraction and energy consumption is heralding the greatest mass extinction of plant and animal life, the likes of which has not been seen in the last 65 million years.

Cultural Vision exposes the ancient roots of these challenges as it reveals a new direction for the future of humanity based upon cooperation, true human values, and cultural diversity.

About the Author

J. Martin Knutsen has been independently researching human culture and modern civilization?s impact on the Earth?s biosphere since 1994. Martin has absorbed the diverse teachings of some of the greatest minds of the 20th century and has brought them together in a unified theory. As a jazz pianist, Martin?s sense of cultural creativeness accomplishes what more narrowly focused theorists have been unable to discover. Martin combines the research from many experts in many varied fields of study to create a fresh outlook on humanity?s spiritual relationship with our physical selves, each other, and all life on Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important piece of work, April 30, 2007
This review is from: Cultural Vision: A Memeplex for the Cultural Evolution (Paperback)
We have a serious cultural problem in our world today, and Mr. Knutsen eloquently leads us down the path to understanding how we got here and what we can do to make the changes necessary for our survival. I highly recommend this book to those who are new to thinking about our culture and need a solid overview, as well as those who are searching for answers.
