…quite well explained in The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake. If you are interested in nature of non-linearity of learning, what were steps in forming human's worldview, I think Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West make a good point. I can't say for sure, because I have only started (it's very long, 1500 pages), but I definitely like the guy. :)
Oswald Spengler's 'The Decline of the West'. The primary thesis of the author is of a cyclical development and decline of civilization (and his estimate that western civilization in particular is in the declining phase, hence perhaps the not so…
…an observation by the Roman rhetoritician. Apocalyptic concepts are common in the Bible. Eastern religions tend to take a more cyclical view, of recurring expansion and collapse. Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West is a classic. There's a modern literature largely spawning from the Club of Rome's Limits to Growth (1972) of which I'd include Tainter. James Howard Kunstler's The Long Emergency is a more recent take…

……在鲁珀特·谢尔德雷克的《科学的迷思》（The Science Delusion）里解释得相当透彻。如果你对学习的非线性本质、人类世界观形成的步骤感兴趣，我觉得奥斯瓦尔德·斯宾格勒的《西方的没落》讲得很有见地。我也说不准，因为我才刚开始读（特别厚，有1500页），但我确实挺喜欢这哥们的。:)

……罗马修辞学家的一种观察。《圣经》中末日论的观点很普遍。东方宗教则往往更偏向周期论，即周而复始的扩张与崩溃。奥斯瓦尔德·斯宾格勒的《西方的没落》是部经典。现代也涌现了大量很大程度上脱胎于罗马俱乐部《增长的极限》（1972）的文献，我会把泰恩特也算在内。詹姆斯·霍华德·昆斯特勒的《漫长的紧急状态》是近期的另一种视角……
