EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS OF THE BOOK
"Basarab Nicolescu has given us a text which must be recognized and celebrated for the alchemical wedding it is: it joins symbolic language, poetical language, with the language of western analysis" - Karen-Claire VOSS, Theosophical History, vol. 5, no. 2, 1994.
"That it might fall to the destiny of Boehme's work to break the imaginal and moral impasse of modern science borders on the incredible. Yet within these pages, the inconceivable has actually taken place" - Joscelyn Godwin, foreword to the book.
"Basarab Nicolescu seeks not only an interdisciplinary dialogue between religion and science, but a spiritual context that can link many disciplines together and provide solutions to modern dilemmas"- Arthur VERSLUIS, ARIES, no. 16, 1993.
"Basarab Nicolescu's book contributes brilliantly to the emerging dialogue between science and the wisdom of the ages. I doubt not it will provide seminal in the years to come" - Wolfgang SMITH, Sophia, vol. 3, no. 1, 1997.
AWARDS: - Winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best History Book, 1992 ; - Prize of the Union of Writers of Romania, 1993
