Nicholas Rescher examines a number of controversial social issues
using the intellectual tools of the philosopher, in an attempt to
clarify some of the complexities of modern society, technology, and
economics. He elucidates his thoughts on topics such as: whether
technological progress leads to greater happiness; environmental
problems; endangered species, costly scientific research on the
frontiers of knowledge, medical/moral issues on the preservation of
life; and crime and justice, among others.
