Product Description

Abraham H. Maslow was one of the foremost spokespersons of humanistic psychology. In The Farthest Reaches of Human Nature, an extension of his classic Toward a Psychology of Being, Maslow explores the complexities of human nature by using both the empirical methods of science & the aesthetics of philosophical inquiry. With essays on biology, synergy, creativity, cognition, self-actualization & the hierarchy of needs, this posthumous work is a wide-ranging synthesis of his inspiring & influential ideas.

You might have heard of "Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs" beginning with food, shelter etc. In that pyramid of needs, you couldn't strive for spirituality, for example, until your shelter needs were met.This book is different. It is a collection of later essays mostly about spiritual needs. In these essays, the pyramid is flipped-- as if the spiritual needs are the base of the pyramid rather than food and shelter.Maslow comments on things other psychologists in the sixties were commenting on: existentialism, creativity..Existentialism here is defined as the study of human need for meaning. Where some use the term existentialism to mean the position that humans need meaning and there is no inherent meaning (authors like Camus, Kafka and Douglas Adams), Maslow agrees with Viktor Frankl in saying that life does have inherent meaning and Existentialism is the study of what that meaning is and how to get it. Hence the title, "The Farther Reaches of Human Nature." Human Nature is not fallen, doomed, or inherently separate from meaning, but human nature is capable, naturally drawn and inherently connected.By the way this book is not available for kindle. Why not? Please click the button if you'd like to see this as a kindle book. It certainly deserves to be read by a new generation of readers, at a time when inherent meaning is again questioned.
