Items related to Only Chaos and Other Essays
This new collection of essays continues the same theme which Jaki frequently addresses, that of the development of intellectual strategy to protect the worth of the human being in a scientific and technological age. The physicist-theologian brings us face to face with relativism (the only chaos) and steers us clear of two philosophies, 'physicalism, ' in which increased quantification is supposed to bring us nearer to the source of knowledge, and a 'bucolic humanism, ' which decries technology while reaping its benefits. Jaki's analyses are useful examples to students in the disciplines combatting deconstructionism, the new historicism, and cultural relativism. Co-published with the Intercollegiate Studies Institut
