SPHERES OF PERCEPTION
By Theodore Holtzhausen
SPHERES OF PERCEPTION
Scientific advancement is once again necessitating a reevaluation of the place Homo sapiens holds in the universe. Similar transformations in the way we look at ourselves occurred post Galileo, Kepler and Copernican revelations. Darwin certainly changed the way we see ourselves in the context of creationism, and today our primitive evolutionary origins is rejected only by the most foolhardy. We have today after the completion of the Human Genome Project extended this analysis off our genetic makeup well in to other species. We have now also moved well beyond seeing living systems merely as organized cells, packaged into organisms, all aggressively competing to reproduce. We can also now comfortably reject the Darwinian concept of seeing the chicken’s only purpose to produce another egg. We have replaced a myopic evolution driven merely to reproduce and survive with the concept of pliable mobile and interactive DNA in an interconnected universal evolution.
In the context of such major changes and facing a complex new era of moral and healthcare concerns good healthcare for all is an ideal that seems to be disintegrating in many advanced societies. While already jaw dropping costs continue to escalate, quality declines and fair coverage shrinks. Technical fixes aren’t solving the problem. In our current climate we are forced to reexamine the moral roots of healthcare application in search for solutions.
Now with recent findings in evolutionary biology this book reveals how new understanding can enhance our moral evolution. The book presents a novel method using three easily applied spheres of reasoning to awaken in all of us the ability to create a fairer, more equal, rational and benevolent world, regardless of our personal beliefs or socioeconomic standing to face a brave and exiting new era.
With healthcare workers now merely as providers, patients have become customers and the sellers celebrate their successes based entirely on what pays rather than empathy and proper care on all levels. Driven by profits rather than rationality, also now looms a costly and threatning pseudoscience.
