Publisher's Synopsis
Uncivilized Civilization is a book written by Morris Schwartzberg and published in 1920. The book is a critical analysis of modern civilization, arguing that it has become uncivilized due to its focus on materialism and disregard for spiritual and moral values. Schwartzberg argues that the pursuit of wealth and power has led to a society that is devoid of compassion and empathy, and that the values of kindness, love, and altruism have been replaced by greed and selfishness. The book is divided into several chapters, each discussing a different aspect of modern civilization. Schwartzberg examines the role of science and technology in shaping society, arguing that while they have brought many benefits, they have also created new problems and challenges. He also discusses the impact of industrialization on the environment and the exploitation of natural resources. Throughout the book, Schwartzberg draws on a range of sources, including philosophy, literature, and religion, to support his arguments. He also provides examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points. Ultimately, Uncivilized Civilization is a call to action, urging readers to re-examine their values and priorities and to work towards creating a more compassionate and just society. The book remains relevant today, as many of the issues it addresses, such as income inequality, environmental degradation, and the erosion of moral values, continue to be major challenges facing modern civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
