Exploring the concept of human wickedness, this book critiques two significant obstacles: inappropriate scientism and moralism. It argues that a misguided scientific perspective diminishes the acknowledgment of human agency in global events, treating human behavior as merely a response to external factors. This framework neglects the potential for individual and collective decisions to shape conduct, suggesting that moral responsibility is essential for understanding human actions. The work invites readers to reconsider the interplay between human agency and external influences.

Exploring the concept of perceptgenesis, Professor Gudmund Smith and his colleagues challenge traditional views in psychology by documenting subjective phases in perception. They argue that feelings, meanings, and recognition are integral to the perceptual process, rather than mere responses to external stimuli. This radical perspective questions the objectivity and realism typically upheld in psychological studies, suggesting that perception involves assembling sensory experiences linked to memory before being projected back into the world. Smith's innovative methods provide a deeper understanding of how we perceive objects.
