In 'The Empathic Civilization,' Jeremy Rifkin presents an innovative interpretation of the history of civilization, exploring the evolution of empathy and its impact on human development. Rifkin challenges the traditional view of human nature as selfish, arguing that we are a fundamentally empathic species. Through a multidisciplinary analysis ranging from biology to communication theory, the author examines the relationship between empathy and entropy, and how technological advances have influenced our empathic consciousness. This book invites reflection on the need to achieve global empathy to prevent the collapse of civilization and protect our planet.
