Western society has become saturated with scientific and technological modes of thinking that impact our lives and our relationships. Expanding social inequality; the use of social media and the rise of mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression are manifestations of this shift in our civilization.Our Battle for the Human Spirit is a comprehensive probe into what is happening to human life in the beginning of the 21st century. It explores how culture; experience; and symbolization have been replaced by scientific; discipline-based; approaches. Willem H. Vanderburg argues that these approaches are inadequate in understanding the complexity of human lives and societies. In order to transcend these limits; Vanderburg calls for the reintegration of culture and symbolization into our daily lives.
