But most people who lived during the 10,000 years before the nineteenth century thought just the opposite. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, biology, and history, Ian Morris, author of the best-selling Why the West Rules--for Now, explains why. The result is a compelling new argument about the evolution of human values, one that has far-reaching implications for how we understand the past--and for what might happen next. Fundamental long-term changes in values, Morris argues, are driven by the most basic force of all: energy. Humans have found three main ways to get the energy they need--from foraging, farming, and fossil fuels. Each energy source sets strict limits on what kinds of societies can succeed, and each kind of society rewards specific values. In tiny forager bands, people who value equality but are ready to settle problems violently do better than those who aren't; in large farming societies, people who value hierarchy and are less willing to use violence do best; and in huge fossil-fuel societies, the pendulum has swung back toward equality but even further away from violence. But if our fossil-fuel world favors democratic, open societies, the ongoing revolution in energy capture means that our most cherished values are very likely to turn out--at some point fairly soon--not to be useful any more. Originating as the Tanner Lectures delivered at Princeton University, the book includes challenging responses by novelist Margaret Atwood, philosopher Christine Korsgaard, classicist Richard Seaford, and historian of China Jonathan Spence"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000731998 520__ $$a"This is a successor work to Why the West Rules for Now, in which Morris once again advances an ambitious account of how certain 'brute material forces' limit and help determine the 'culture, values, and beliefs,' including the moral codes, that humans have adopted over the last 20,000 years. The present volume originated as Ian Morris's Tanner Lectures on Human Values, delivered at Princeton University in November of 2012"--Introduction. 000731998 650_0 $$aSocial values$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aSocial evolution$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aSocial change$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aPower resources$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aHunting and gathering societies$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aAgriculture$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aFossil fuels$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aCivilization$$xHistory. 000731998 650_0 $$aCivilization$$xForecasting. 000731998 7001_ $$aSeaford, Richard. 000731998 7001_ $$aSpence, Jonathan D. 000731998 7001_ $$aKorsgaard, Christine M.$$q(Christine Marion) 000731998 7001_ $$aAtwood, Margaret,$$d1939- 000731998 7001_ $$aMacedo, Stephen,$$d1957- 000731998 7001_ $$aMorris, Ian,$$d1960-$$tWhy the West rules-- for now. 000731998 830_0 $$aUniversity Center for Human Values series. 000731998 85200 $$bgen$$hGN469$$i.M67$$i2015 000731998 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:731998$$pGLOBAL_SET 000731998 980__ $$aBIB 000731998 980__ $$aBOOK
