Tantalus or The Future of Man is a book written by F. C. S. Schiller that explores the concept of human progress and the potential future of humanity. The title references the Greek mythological figure Tantalus, who was punished by the gods for his hubris and left perpetually thirsty and hungry, forever tantalized by the food and drink just out of his reach.Schiller's book examines the ways in which humanity has progressed throughout history, from the development of language and agriculture to the rise of technology and industry. He also considers the potential for further progress and the challenges that must be overcome in order to achieve it.Throughout the book, Schiller emphasizes the importance of reason, ethics, and social cooperation in advancing human progress. He argues that while technology and science have the potential to bring about great advancements, they must be guided by a moral and ethical framework in order to ensure that progress is beneficial for all of humanity.Overall, Tantalus or The Future of Man is a thought-provoking exploration of the potential future of humanity and the role that reason, ethics, and social cooperation will play in shaping it.1924. Schiller uses the hero Tantalus to defend social eugenics and argues that civilization and science permit the weak and feeble-minded to survive, threatening the human race.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
