Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In this unconventional book, Tsvi Bisk asks: is the purpose of Zionism to recreate the Jewish past, or to create an alternative Jewish future that serves to redeem the past Do the events of history determine how we must act by mindlessly following its tracks, or is their role to inspire us in how to manage the future The Suicide of the Jews is a fable from the future; a cautionary tale about one of the noblest and bravest endeavors in human history - a story of unsurpassed idealism, heroism, invention and imagination. It is the story of a country which, in its infancy, inspired the entire world with its achievements and ability to survive in the face of overwhelming odds, but which may yet self- destruct as a result of policies that cling to the past rather than respond to the demands of the 21st century. The Suicide of the Jews is a ruthlessly logical extrapolation of current events that will please neither the left nor the right - a wake-up call to be heeded by all.Tsvi Bisk is an American Israeli futurist and social critic. He is contributing editor to The Futurist magazine with over 100 essays and articles to his credit. His previous books were Futurizing the Jews and The Optimistic Jew. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Not "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth", but rather "In the end an Evolutionary Cosmos will have created God" is the singular message of this book. Tsvi Bisk asserts that evolution is the very essence of existence: an infinite process that has created consciousness throughout the Cosmos. Human beings are not the end of this process; consciousness will continue to evolve into ever higher levels of consciousness ad infinitum until a consciousness will have been created that might appear to us as if it were a God. Bisk details how this has been a discreet converging theme throughout the history of human thought. Debunking the "non-overlapping magisteria" thesis, he elucidates how religions, philosophies, and the sciences throughout the ages have intimated this fundamental process of existence. In religion, we have the Jewish "being a partner with God" (in the ongoing act of creation), the Buddhist Buddhahood, the Christian "Holy Spirit" working its "will" in history, and the concept of Nirvana. In philosophy, we have Hegel's 'God' as a process inherent in existence as such, Samuel Alexander's 'Deity as a spacetime emergent', Emerson's 'Oversoul' and Nietzsche's 'UEbermensch'. In science we have the various theories of evolution (i.e., evolution as the preeminent fact of existence), as well as the quasi-theological speculations of thinkers as distinct as Einstein, Schroedinger, and Carl Sagan.Bisk suggests that understanding our place in this cosmic 'godding' process will go a long way in assuaging that sense of meaninglessness of it all that is the cause of so much civilizational pessimism and angst. A subsequent rebirth of optimism might also stimulate the creative energies required to solve the material and environmental problems of 21st-century humanity. This item is printed on demand.
