Becoming Humanity's Next R/Evolution


Book Description

Who among us wouldn’t like to have more joy in their lives each day and live in a more vibrant community and peaceful world? From ancient times down to the present day, humanity’s best minds have sought a path by which anyone, anywhere, embracing any point of view and lifestyle could build such a life and, at the same time, help create more vibrant, sustainable, peaceful communities. Now, informed by these elevated minds, Becoming Humanity’s Next R/Evolution offers a practical, scalable way to achieve the life, the communities, and the world each of us wants and humanity desperately needs. The key is not mass conversion to a new religious or social doctrine or the global application of a new physical or digital technology. Rather, it is the daily use of at least two of five simple, proven techniques based on universal principles of human neurophysiology, consciousness, and social interaction. When used by roughly 1 percent of any community, these techniques will begin to measurably elevate the social, economic, and environmental stability of that community. As individuals and communities on every continent and in every culture begin moving forward and upward each day, humanity’s global matrix of suffering and discontent will begin to transform into a matrix of wellbeing and positive achievement. In this next r/evolutionary matrix, we will finally unlock life’s deepest mysteries and begin permanently colonizing the moon, Mars, and perhaps beyond.

Human Nature and the French Revolution


Book Description

What view of man did the French Revolutionaries hold? Anyone who purports to be interested in the "Rights of Man" could be expected to see this question as crucial and yet, surprisingly, it is rarely raised. Through his work as a legal historian, Xavier Martin came to realize that there is no unified view of man and that, alongside the "official" revolutionary discourse, very divergent views can be traced in a variety of sources from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic Code. Michelet's phrases, "Know men in order to act upon them" sums up the problem that Martin's study constantly seeks to elucidate and illustrate: it reveals the prevailing tendency to see men as passive, giving legislators and medical people alike free rein to manipulate them at will. His analysis impels the reader to revaluate the Enlightenment concept of humanism. By drawing on a variety of sources, the author shows how the anthropology of Enlightenment and revolutionary France often conflicts with concurrent discourses.
