Question of the Sanities: Ecology and the Human Conundrum of Remorse

This book is an in-depth examination of the long-looming crisis of ecological consciousness afflicting our species world-wide. While many have addressed the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, inequities between human nations and communities, this may well be the first work to seek out the psychoanalytic roots of that global set of debacles. By examining history, paleontology, ecosystem dynamics, the mathematical and quantum modeling utilized by biologists, biochemists, demographers and ecologists, the Authors examine with clinical and unstinting clarity the complex of self-destruction comprising ecological psychology and the natural sciences, philosophy and the humanities, to ask and answer the question: Is our species destined to survive or fail?
