The Human Soul in Transition – an Interview with Bonnie Bright


On YouTube

The post-modern condition is characterized by a multitude of perspectives and narratives, challenging the view and the value of central, universal truths.

 Erel Shalit's book The Human Soul (lost?) in Transition, at the Dawn of a New Era is forthcoming.

Society is organized, indeed, less by law than by the propensity to imitation, implying equally suggestibility, suggestion, and moral contagion."              Imitation is a sh...
