We live in a time of considerable disenchantment with the political formula of conservative - liberal - labour- communist, and need a reframed view of the issues faced by the world in the early 21st century. This should take into account the dangerous way humans are living on the earth, the continued great disparity between the richest and poorest people, the loss of species, globalisation of religious and social systems and conflicts inherent in this. A Wiser Politics argues that the nature of the person needs to be linked more intelligently to the form of the social system, and both require an awareness that we live in a mysterious and awesome universe. Dr.Jean Hardy has been a university teacher for most of her life, is a writer, editor and teacher, and actively works towards social change. She is interested in the relationship of psychology and spirituality to politics, ecology and economics, in the search for a more whole world. She now lives and works in South Devon. Book jacket.
