Rethinking How We Think addresses the new ways of thinking and acting that legitimate hope for the future necessarily depends on. From the book's back cover: "Look closely at any of the most critical questions ahead for the species and we find an easily unsettling shared theme. Not only do usual answers fail us, usual ways of thinking fail us. Essential challenges of every sort are requiring not just fresh insights, but whole new, more mature and systemic, ways of understanding.
In this short book, one of today's most respected and innovative social thinkers confronts what makes needed new ways of understanding new and why they are inescapably important. He also addresses ways they can be practiced and how, when we are ready for them, they can feel like common sense. Rethinking How We Think explores the conceptual underpinnings of the future's needed 'new common sense."
Rethinking How We Think describes how, while our times present immense challenges, in the end what is being asked of us is straightforward. You can think of it as a new "common sense." What is different is that this is a maturity of common sense that we are only now beginning to grasp and becoming able to apply.
