Summary:

This book discusses possible paths towards restoring our humanity in today's global techno-scientific culture. It begins by considering how talking face-to-face develops and improves critical discussion, before moving on to show that observing in both physics and art involves participating with what we are observing. The book then highlights how doing in general involves developing a third-person stance in order to improve our critical self-awareness, and how making in general is intertwined with the making and remaking of our multiple cultures. It also explores how critical discussion allows our thinking both to confront and to keep in touch with reality, and provides six tentative maxims on how to 'be' as a human.
