After numerous catastrophic terrorist events in the first decades of the 21st century, many governments have attempted to mitigate extreme and violent radicalism without much success. The purpose of this book is to generate possible solutions to human radicalism. However, this is not where its uniqueness lies. The uniqueness is where these solutions come from: human nature reexamined in biological and philosophical terms. Human nature within a peculiar natural world can lead to acts of terrorism. This unique combination of biology and Spinoza's philosophy creates a particular vision: the "Spinozist" view of human nature and radicalism. This vision suggests many psycho-sociogenic solutions to mitigate violent radicalism. Although experts may be interested in this unusual approach, the book is designed to give non-experts in clinical medicine, molecular biology, philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis, and sociology access to related ideas, enriching the debate and providing practical solutions to radicalism.
Jerome Premmereur is a physician and a board-certified cardiologist from France, with 30 years of experience in international clinical research, including more than two decades working in the USA. His clinical trial activities involved many fields, including cardiology, oncology, metabolism, vaccines, immunology, rare diseases, genetic and epigenetic treatment. He has worked in clinical research for pharmaceutical companies, non-profit organizations (for example, he was Chief Executive Officer of TB Alliance in New York, USA) and major contract research organization companies, all in the USA. His interest in molecular biology and philosophy has led him to publish specific philosophical visions on new discoveries regarding the human genome, the epigenome, the microbiome, neuroplasticity, and immunology in relation to Spinoza's philosophy.
