Lynch critiques the notion of a purely rational society, positing that emotional and sacred elements are essential to social existence. He asserts that modernity hasn't eliminated the sacred but instead has transformed it, manifesting in new forms centered on humanity, nature, and national identity. This exploration reveals the persistent influence of the sacred in shaping contemporary social dynamics.
Challenging the reduction of human motivation to mere self-interest, this book delves into the complexity of our moral constitution. It critiques simplistic views like the 'selfish gene' concept from neo-Darwinian thought, arguing that while these perspectives can provide insights, they ultimately fail to capture the full spectrum of human motives. The exploration invites readers to reconsider the intricacies of human nature beyond one-dimensional interpretations.
