It argues that there are grounds for hope in many areas of everyday life, and...

This is what we are to believe if we listen to contemporary propaganda that proclaims selfish competition as natural and reasonable.

The belief that nature is evil also drives the violent xenophobia that has plagued society throughout history. Even evolutionary biologists and social scientists often adhere to this negativity as...
