ishmael
Human beings are destroying the world. It's a fact we all know. Pollution is abundant, we chop down rainforests, we kill our own kind, we steal, lie, and cheat, and the list could go on and on. Most humans are confused. Some know what the problem is, but most haven't even realized something is wrong. The novel Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn is an attempt to bring about awareness of the mistakes that people have made and have continued to repeat through the course of human history. Daniel Quinn believes that this destruction comes from something more extreme than just the notion to survive. In his novel, Ishmael, Quinn believes that the problems facing humanity are do to man's knowledge of good and evil.
Man's knowledge of good and evil, and the belief in their ultimate power, is what leads to destruction. While man has the knowledge, man has, "no certain knowledge about how they ought to live" (88). What is good and evil is something there are no concrete answers for, yet man creates these answers to please himself. Because they have no concrete answers, man has to go on ruling the world, "even if it means destroying the world and mankind with it" (168).
