Too Late For Man 

Fall 1996 
ISBN 1-57129-018-4 $15.95  

This text revolves around the order and disorder of contemporary society. It explores one central and recurrent idea: that the kingdom of man may have reached its terminus. The civilization founded on human supremeacy, on the idea of the superiority of our species, must yield its place to a more respectful order, and order more amenable to the other creatures.

It also argues that man will only find the road to his own survival if he abdicates his throne of arrogance and discreetly submits to the powers that truly govern life and sustain the universe. What meaning do illness, death, nature and leisure time have today, divested of the profundity afforded by a mythical outlook?
