What's Wrong with Us?: The Anthropathology Thesis

by Colin Feltham

What’s wrong with us? Professor Colin Feltham believes that the current crises of the human condition are symptoms of a chronic wayward tendency which he terms ‘anthropathology’. This interdisciplinary look at the zeitgeist of crisis traces the roots of human suffering, exploring the contemporary issues of human violence, deceit, patriarchy, abuse, irrationality and greed. Our human anthropathology is placed at the heart of all such problems. Echoing the pessimism of Schopenhauer, Cioran, Beckett, Gray and others, Feltham nevertheless insists that answers may be formulated through confrontation. Challenging and enlightening for professionals, academics and students, What's Wrong With Us?  is also a fascinating read for anyone with a general interest in our current social state.

Misandrist book devoid of anything of sustance. No empirical proof has been provided for the assertions made, especially than men are the onyl propagator of violence while women are little angels while research say otherwise (do you know that in couples with reciprocating violence women commit 50% of the violence while in couples with non-reciprocating violence they commit 70% of violence, do you know that lesbian couples have the highest rate of domestic violence while gay male couples the least and heterosexual couples are in the middle?) Nothing of value is lost if you do not read this drivel or if you do not finish it.
