Features: This book was first published in 1972. Today, the prospects it has proven more effective than in the past. Its perspective is concise and clear: We build our society not by opposing or confronting nature, but by creating and fostering the aspects of nature that we collectively choose. In this way, society belongs to a history, and the spiritual leaps and social transformations of this history—encompassing not only technological and political order changes but also shifts in gender roles, family structures, and lineage rights—have profoundly shaped each era. This vision ultimately presents a broad and meaningful concept: a non-positivist idea, one that dynamic sociology and ecology might embody, addressing the need for a "new art of survival" in response to the lack of universalization.
