The flip side of the mirror. Lorenz K.

The collection includes two works by Konrad Lorenz - the "back side of the mirror" and "eight mortal sins of civilized humanity."

In the first, the famous ethologist considers the nature of knowledge from the point of view of biology, philosophy and psychology, and as a result, offers us a completely unexpected view of the cognitive ability of all living organisms, including a person and the most primitive forms of life - a ability that completely defines The logic of their existence, development and interaction with each other and with the outside world.

The second work, written on the basis of popular lectures on Vienna radio, draws us a completely different image of the Lorentz - a philosopher, passionate about pressing social, political and cultural problems of modern society - from overpopulation to “loneliness in the city”, from Competitions in business to the eternal confrontation of “fathers and children”.
