The fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can't
go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we're entering
endgame where we appear to have lost the race between
self-destruction and self-discovery-the race to find the
psychologically relieving understanding of our `good and
evil'-afflicted human condition. Well, astonishing as it is, this
book by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the 11th hour
breakthrough biological explanation of the human condition
necessary for the psychological rehabilitation and transformation
of our species! The culmination of 40 years of studying and writing
about our species' psychosis, FREEDOM delivers nothing less than
the holy grail of insight we have needed to free ourselves from the
human condition. It is, in short, as Professor Harry Prosen, a
former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, asserts
in his Introduction, "The book that saves the world!". Griffith has
been able to venture right to the bottom of the dark depths of what
it is to be human and return with the fully accountable, true
explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives. At long last we have
the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human
behaviour! And with that explanation found all the other great
outstanding scientific mysteries about our existence are now also
able to be truthfully explained-of the meaning of our existence, of
the origin of our unconditionally selfless moral instincts, and of
why we humans became conscious when other animals haven't. Yes, the
full story of life on Earth can finally be told-and all of these
incredible breakthroughs and insights are presented here in this
`greatest of all books'.
Griffith's first book that introduces the reader to the issue of
the human condition and his biological explanation of it. It
describes how the anger and selfishness felt by humans is the
result of a conflict between two factions within ourselves -- the
gene-based instinctive self struggling against the nerve-based
intellect's need and responsibility to understand existence. The
conflict caused humans to live with an undeserved sense of guilt
that understanding now ameliorates.
This series of studies, by experts in the relevant fields,
comprehensively and systematically examines British book production
and publishing in the hundred years before the introduction of
printing. The terms 'book' and 'publishing' are usually employed in
reference to the products of the printing press. This collection of
essays, however, deals with the manuscript book, its materials and
make-up, the people who made, commissioned and read such books, the
kinds of reading matter they wanted, and the way books catered for
- and created - the reading and book-buying public. Special
attention is paid to the increasing systemization and
commercialization of production. These essays constitute a valuable
work of reference for scholars and students in a wide range of
disciplines.
A SPECIES IN DENIAL is the revolutionary bestseller by Australian
biologist Jeremy Griffith. In it the author presents a series of
essays addressesing the crux issue before us as a species of the
human condition, our capacity for good and evil, describing how
humans have coped with the dilemma of the human condition by living
in denial of it. Griffith then explains the biological reason for
the human condition, thus ending the need for the denial and
maturing humanity to psychological freedom from its historic
insecure human-condition-afflicted state. With a foreword by
Templeton Prize winning biologist Charles Birch, this book provides
a deeply insightful examination of science, religion, politics, men
and women, psychiatry and mythology.
Griffith's second book that gives a detailed account of the biology
underpinning his explanation of the human condition. Charles Darwin
connected humans with nature but there biology has been stalled,
unable to explain the dilemma of the human condition. Griffith's
answer defends and dignifies humans, it lifts the burden of guilt,
making possible our species' psychological rehabilitation; the real
repair or ourselves and our planet.
