George Smith argues that modern humanity suffers from a late-stage, pre-fatal addiction to scientific-technological thinking. Like most pre-fatal addictions, this one will most likely result in one of three ways: misery, extinction, or human transformation. The question remains, wherein lies the third way? According to Smith, mankind’s chronic and as yet undiagnosed sickness originates in early Western metaphysics and has long been thoroughly globalized. It explains unstoppable extractionism and its relentlessly increasing by-product, carbon dioxide. It also explains today’s ever-increasing rate of species extinction and the increasingly likely collapse of the biosphere. Citing climate change tolerance and denial as symptomatic of pre-fatal addiction, Smith turns his analysis to Heidegger’s "question concerning technology" and shows that even Heidegger had become "hooked" on scientific-technological thinking. Surrendering to his disease, Heidegger "steps back" into "meditative thought." This in turn opens Heidegger to an East-West mode of scientific-poetic consciousness, the thinking of artist-philosophers such as Laozi, Hölderlin, and Rachel Carson. For Heidegger, this way of thinking lays the path to mankind’s transformative emancipation from an otherwise inescapable catastrophe. The book will be of interest to scholars of the arts and culture, histories of consciousness, and climate studies.

Issues about "race" seem to be in the news more today than at any time since the 1960s. Yet Black and White Americans are still struggling to establish a productive dialogue about race. Chances are if you show a Black and a White person the same scene involving race, they will not interpret the scene the same way. This memoir will help identify some of the reasons why Blacks and Whites often see matters involving race differently and may help lay the foundation for establishing a dialogue about race.eorge Smith grew up in an all-Black working-class neighborhood on Chicago's Southside in the 1950s and 1960s. He went on to earn a Graduate Degree in Business and spent more than 50 years in management and executive positions in corporate America and as a college instructor.

Focusing on the aesthetic representation of trauma, George Smith outlines the nexus points between poetics and hermeneutics and shows how a particular kind of thinker, the artist-philosopher, practices interpretation in an entirely different way from traditional hermeneutics. Taking a transhistorical and global view, Smith engages artists, writers, and thinkers from Western and non-Western periods, regions, and cultures. Thus, we see that poetic hermeneutics reconstitutes philosophy and art as hybridizations of art and science, the artist and the philosopher, subject and object. In turn, the artist-philosopher's poetic-hermeneutic reconstitution of philosophy and art is meant to transform human consciousness. This book will be of interest to artists and scholars working in studio practice, art history, aesthetics, philosophy, cultural studies, history of ideas, history of consciousness, psychoanalytic studies, myth studies, literary studies, and creative writing.
