Synopsis

In a demythologized world, William Thompson finds that the power of myth is ironically being restored at the leading edge of science. This book surveys the present, from Post-Modern theory to a science encomping Chaos theory and the Gaia hypothesis, and finds in it the threads out of which a future conceptual landscape might be woven.
