DESCRIPTION:Apocalyptic visions of the future pervade today’s political spectrum. One 
 of the more popular comes in two recent works — Sapiens: A Brief History 
 of Humankind and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century — by Yuval Noah 
 Harari. For him multiple total crises demand that humanity come up with a 
 “clear idea of what life is all about.”\n\nThe debate over “the 
 meaning of life” has been going on “for thousands of years,” but now, 
 says Harari, time is “running out” for Homo sapiens.\n\nFrom the start 
 Marx grounded his new humanism in a unifying principle that speaks to 
 today’s impasse in human thought and human experience.\n\nToday’s 
 reality demands clarity on meaning be­cause, according to Harari, “the 
 looming ecological crisis, the growing threat of weapons of mass 
 destruction, and the rise of new disruptive technologies will not allow” 
 delay.\n\nWhat does Harari’s perspective on mean­ing have in common with 
 most of the Left? How is Marx’s perspective distinctive from 
 both?\n\nNiebyl-Proctor Library, upstairs \n6501 Telegraph Ave., Oakland
