The Paradise Paradox: A Search for Lost Human Nature Among the Ruins of Civilization

From large-scale conflicts to our own private search for meaning, the quest for Paradise lies at the heart of human anxiety.

We see it in the religious conflicts of the Middle East, the imperial ambitions of Russia, the Marxist promise of the Workers’ Paradise, and in Western progressive dreams of perfected societies. Wherever we look, this seductive promise of Paradise drives violence and inequality.

The Paradise Paradox leaves no stone unturned in a personal journey across time and dimensions, traversing the breadth of human society and ideology. Drawing on archeology, anthropology, religion, and the politics of the Middle East, this is an intimate search for answers to the perennial questions of why we remember Paradise and whether we can find it again.
