The Synthesis

Three social forces seem to be gaining momentum at present: religious fundamentalism among the affluent (who believe that it can help them preserve their status), religious fundamentalism among the deprived (who believe that it can help them change theirs) and secular relativism (predominantly among those occupying the middle ground). What all of them have in common is self-centredness and self-interest, which is not conducive to developing a global society. This book offers an alternative outlook, based on a shared purpose that could have a unifying power. Our choice at the moment is to live either in a rational but meaningless world, or in a meaningful but irrational world. The Synthesis is an attempt to see the world as both, rational and meaningful. Common sense, science, spirituality and philosophy are combined in a unique way to achieve this aim.

The Scots' Crisis of Confidence

by Carol Craig

Why do they often lack confidence in themselves or their country? And why do they often find it so easy to be negative and critical? These are some of the themes Carol Craig explores in The Scots’ Crisis of Confidence. This is a bold, intelligent and important book: it offers a refreshingly different analysis of the big themes in Scottish culture, defines for the first time what it really means to be Scottish and spells out the type of thinking now required if Scotland is to become a vibrant, confident country.
