"The Revolt Against Mechanism: The Hibbert Lectures 1933"" by L. P. Jacks is a collection of lectures that were delivered by the author at the Hibbert Lectures in 1933. The book explores the concept of mechanism and its impact on modern society. Jacks argues that the mechanistic worldview, which reduces everything to a series of cause-and-effect relationships, has led to a dehumanization of society and a loss of meaning and purpose. The author also examines the role of science and religion in shaping our understanding of the world and argues that a more holistic approach is needed to address the complex issues facing humanity. He suggests that we need to move beyond the mechanistic worldview and embrace a more spiritual and ethical approach to life. Throughout the book, Jacks draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, to support his arguments. He also provides examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate the impact of the mechanistic worldview on human life. Overall, ""The Revolt Against Mechanism"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the limitations of the mechanistic worldview and a call to embrace a more holistic and humanistic approach to life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, and the social sciences.
