Publisher's Synopsis
The Muslim/Christian, East/West, traditional/secular clashes are not clashes of civilization. They are culture wars. The real clash of civilizations is between the traditional hierarchical worldview of the civilization that has ruled for the last 6,000 years--since the beginning of "civilization"--and a new worldview, a new civilization, that has been trying to emerge and replace the old for some time now. The depressing events that are happening worldwide today (insecurity, violence, elite-controlled societies, war, corruption, etc.) have been happening for thousands of years, and they will continue happening because they are the result of the alienation that humans have been born into under our old dualistic, hierarchical traditions. And these traditions sprout from a false worldview that this work describes. If we don't shift to a new, truer worldview--as pointed to in this book--violence and instability will bury us. This will be the last clash of civilizations.
