Inhaltsangabe

The Emergence of Awe: Reimagining Human Progress for the 21st Century is an accessible, concise, yet thought-provoking read for curious minds of all ages – particularly students, independent thinkers, and those interested in science, philosophy, and the future of society. The book examines humanity at a pivotal moment, where rapid technological advances collide with stagnant political and social systems. Drawing on science, philosophy and history, Hayk Sarkissian presents a bold new way of thinking, urging us to align human values with objective reality. He challenges long-held assumptions underpinning modern society and proposes a philosophical shift to empower human flourishing in today’s world of unprecedented change and social upheaval. The Emergence of Awe reimagines our relationship with time, evolution, consciousness and tradition to reveal a fresh path towards progress and purpose in the Age of Intelligence. Perfect for readers of The Economist, the Financial Times, New Scientist, New Philosopher, Aeon and Wired ― and for anyone seeking to broaden their perspective in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.
