What’s wrong with us? Professor Colin Feltham believes
that the current crises of the human condition are symptoms of a
chronic wayward tendency which he terms
‘anthropathology’. This interdisciplinary look at the
zeitgeist of crisis traces the roots of human suffering, exploring
the contemporary issues of human violence, deceit,
patriarchy, abuse, irrationality and greed. Our human
anthropathology is placed at the heart of all such problems.
Echoing the pessimism of Schopenhauer, Cioran, Beckett, Gray and
others, Feltham nevertheless insists that answers may be formulated
through confrontation. Challenging and enlightening for
professionals, academics and students, What's Wrong With
Us? is also a fascinating read for anyone with a general
interest in our current social state.
