Synopsis
Excerpt from The Neighbor: The Natural History of Human Contacts
IN this book I have endeavored to set forth some matters concerning the intercourse of men with their neighbors which have helped me, and which I h0pe may be helpful to others who may desire to go beyond the commonplace relation with their fellow men. The greater part of what I have said is, so far as the facts go, familiar knowledge; my effort has been to shape this information in such a manner that it will throw light on human relations.

The Neighbor: The Natural History of Human Contacts (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of human relationships, exploring the factors that shape our interactions with neighbors and strangers alike. Through meticulous analysis, the author traces the evolution of our social instincts from the primal reactions of animals to the complex emotions of modern humans. The book argues that our instincts and behaviors are deeply influenced by our tribal past, where survival depended on identifying and cooperating with those within our group while viewing outsiders with suspicion. As we progressed into larger, more diverse societies, this tribal mindset persisted, limiting our ability to extend sympathy beyond a narrow circle. The author delves into the role of language, beliefs, and physical appearance in shaping our perceptions of others, showing how these factors can create barriers to understanding and empathy. By examining both the innate and learned aspects of human nature, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that arise in our interactions with neighbors and strangers. Its insights shed light on the complexities of human relationships, offering valuable lessons for navigating the social landscape and promoting greater understanding among diverse individuals. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330649435_0
