''Man: His Present and Future'' is a philosophical and scientific exploration of the nature of humanity and its potential for progress, written by Herbert McClellan Riggle and originally published in 1904. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the current state of human existence and the second section examining the possibilities for future development. Riggle draws on a wide range of sources, including religion, philosophy, psychology, and science, to explore questions such as the purpose of human life, the nature of consciousness, and the potential for human evolution. He argues that while humans have made significant progress in areas such as technology and social organization, there is still much work to be done in terms of personal and spiritual growth. Throughout the book, Riggle emphasizes the importance of individual agency and responsibility in shaping the course of human development. He suggests that by cultivating virtues such as self-discipline, compassion, and creativity, individuals can contribute to a more positive and fulfilling future for humanity as a whole. Overall, ''Man: His Present and Future'' offers a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human condition, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the nature of human potential and progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
