Humans And Their Environment: A Proposal For A New Perspective, Henry G. Schwarz

History Faculty and Staff Publications

The ultimate purpose of this essay is to persuade humans to adopt a new, more objective perspective of their relationship to their environment, including the universe, but the odds of approaching, let alone reaching, this goal during my life are close to zero.
