A New Humanity Or The Easter Island (1905)

By Adolf Wilbrandt

Book Overview

""A New Humanity Or The Easter Island"" is a book written by Adolf Wilbrandt in 1905. The book is a philosophical and historical exploration of the concept of human progress and the dangers of unchecked technological advancement. Wilbrandt uses the story of Easter Island, a remote island in the Pacific Ocean that was once home to a thriving civilization, as a cautionary tale about the consequences of overconsumption and environmental degradation. He argues that the pursuit of material wealth and technological progress has led to the destruction of many societies throughout history, and that humanity must learn to live in harmony with the natural world if it wishes to survive. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the human condition and the challenges we face in creating a sustainable future for ourselves and our planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
