Expanding social inequality, the use of social media and the rise of mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression are manifestations of this shift in our civilization. Our Battle for the Human Spirit is a comprehensive probe into what is happening to human life in the beginning of the 21st century. It explores how culture, experience, and symbolization have been replaced by scientific, discipline-based, approaches. Willem H. Vanderburg argues that these approaches are inadequate in understanding the complexity of human lives and societies. In order to transcend these limits, Vanderburg calls for the reintegration of culture and symbolization into our daily lives."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aScience and civilization 606 $aTechnology and civilization 606 $aCivilization, Modern$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience and civilization. 615 0$aTechnology and civilization. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aVanderburg$b Willem H., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01575844 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798549903321 996 $aOur Battle for the Human Spirit$93853182 997 $aUNINA
