Beyond Civilization: The World's Four Great Streams of Civilization : Their Achievements, Their Differences and Their Future

Editorial Reviews
West Coast Review of Books, April 1995 (four-star review)
"...shows that there can be just four different mindsets among people in a structured society."

Book Description
Beyond Civilization first produces a definition of civilization which applies to all civilizations and differentiates them from their precivilized predecessors. This is followed by an in-depth comparative study of Western, Indian, Chinese and Mesoamerican civilizations revealing the distinctive mental structures which created their unique styles and modes of thought. Ranging from the high realms of mythology, philosophy and art to the more mundane levels of law, physical discipline and sex, the author gives the 'why' of practices formerly treated only as curious eccentricies. Finally, arguing that civilization is a system of the past in the process of being replaced, the author explores the kind of mind which will creat the next stage in human social evolution: The Postcivilized Mind.
