Hope and the Future: Confronting Today's Crisis of Purpose

Hope and the Future introduces the Creative Systems Theory concept of Cultural Maturity. It is the place to begin for people interested in understanding the critical "growing up" as a species on which our future depends. The book examines critical challenges that today confront us as a species and confronts how effectively addressing them will require new human capacities—new ways of thinking, relating, and acting. And it looks at how Cultural Maturity's changes make successfully realizing these needed new human capacities possible.
