Review:
"One of America's most respected and celebrated writers provides a thought-provoking analysis of, and a concise rebuttal of, E. O. Wilson's Consilience. "[A] scathing assessmentBerry shows that Wilson's much-celebrated, controversial pleas in Consilience to unify all branches of knowledge is nothing more than a fatuous subordination of religion, art, and everything else that is good to scienceBerry is one of the most perceptive critics of American society writing today."-Lauren F. Winner, Washington Post Book World "I am tempted to say he understands [Consilience] better than Wilson himself A new emancipation proclamation in which he speaks again and again about how to defy the tyranny of scientific materialism."-Colin C. Campbell, Christian Science Monitor "Berry takes a wrecking ball to E. O. Wilson's Consilience, reducing its smug assumptions regarding the fusion of science, art, and religion to so much rubble."-Kirkus Reviews"

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Berry's gentlemanly prose is a velvet glove clothing a rather devastating critique of E.O. Wilson's Consilience, and its attempt to subsume all human knowledge and experience -- artistic and religious -- within an ''imperialistic materialism.'' Berry Brings together a sympathy with religious experience, intimacy with the natural order, and an easy literary genius to integrate the ''two cultures'' of science and the humanities when they should be integrated, and to separate them when they should be separated. We were tempted to start quoting him, but then realized that we would simply be reprinting the whole book in our own pages. We can only tell you that reading this book will shed light on what it means to live in the modern world without amputating either our rational or spiritual antennae. 153 pp. Seller Inventory # 2179
