Many natural scientists believe climate change will bring civilizational collapse. Tim Gorringe argues that behind this threat is a commitment to false values, embodied in our political, economic, and farming systems. At the same time, millions of people the world over—perhaps the majority—are committed to alternative values and practices. This book explores how these values, already foreshadowed in people’s movements all over the world, can produce different political and economic realities which can underwrite a safe and prosperous future for all.
Nature Does Not Answer – a groundbreaking book that redefines the understanding of science and its role in our society. Inspired by Immanuel Kant's statement that true scientific discovery lies not in mere observation but in asking specific questions, this book takes us on an exciting journey through the methods of physics and beyond.

This book reveals that the scientific method often says more about how the world reacts when we intervene, rather than why it reacts that way. It powerfully illuminates that the findings ...

In Capitalism, Alienation and Critique Asger Sørensen offers a wide-ranging argument for the classical Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, thus endorsing the dialectical approach of the original founders (Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse) and criticizing suggested revisions of later generations (Habermas, Honneth).

Apart from in-depth discussions of classical political economy and Hegelian dialecti...
