{"product_id":"britains-dying","title":"Britain''s Dying","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnyone who thinks can see that Britain today is broken. But how can we mend it? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent physical, after-the-fact attempts are like applying plasters to cure cancer: the cause, and hence the illness, persists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection stands out in seeing our social and environmental problems as substantially moral, analysing them and proposing a moral\/philosophical cure as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the root of our ethical climate is personal distortion: wants and drives overriding conscience, with dilution or perverse inversion of core values. This has produced more opportunity for self-expression within its perspective, but priority of self-interest and greed beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of relying on “God Almighty” material pragmatism, we need to return to the basic questions: What is our nature? How should we live in relation to others and the world around? Then we must listen to what our feelings tell us and act upon it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book points towards more inclusion of psychology and philosophy in education. It will resonate with teachers, students and law-makers, people working in the above fields, and everyone who cares about the survival of our civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507631726965,"sku":"9781806346288","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781806346288.jpg?v=1787042641","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/britains-dying","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
