Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "The Old Savage in the New Civilization" is a profound examination of the growing disparity between human biological evolution and the rapid acceleration of technological and scientific progress. Raymond B. Fosdick explores a central dilemma of the modern age: whether humanity's inherited instincts and social structures can keep pace with the power unleashed by the Industrial Revolution and the rise of a globally interconnected society. The work argues that while humans have mastered the physical world through innovation, our moral and political institutions remain rooted in an ancient, tribal past.Through a series of insightful chapters, Fosdick analyzes the impact of the machine age on the individual and the collective, questioning whether civilization is destined for collapse if it fails to develop a social intelligence equal to its technical proficiency. He addresses themes of internationalism, the ethics of science, and the necessity of education in bridging the gap between our primitive origins and our complex mechanical environment. "The Old Savage in the New Civilization" remains a significant contribution to social philosophy, offering a timeless reflection on the responsibilities that accompany human achievement and the urgent need for spiritual and intellectual growth in a rapidly changing world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
