THE LIVING UNIVERSE: The Reconciliation of Humankind and Nature, Science and Spirituality: The Reconciliation of the Humankind and Nature, Science and Spirituality - Softcover
In the twenty-first century we may think we know an impressive amount about ourselves, our world, and the universe around us. This knowledge, however, is an empty knowledge, is one-sided, and does not take into account the multi-faceted nature of not only humankind, but the creatures with whom we share this wonderful planet and the extraordinary beauty of the world we live in. Modern humans have come to worship the new god of science, forgetting all the other aspects that make up our world and who we really are. In placing all our faith in science and cold knowledge, we are overlooking so many other truths in this world which those of previous eras had already worked out for themselves. In The Living Universe we are shown that the modern thinkers of our day, such as Dawkins, or perhaps the not quite so modern Darwin, do not have all the answers and that ancient scientists and thinkers may have been closer to some of the great truths than we are now. Through a wide-ranging exploration of many different philosophies, religions, beliefs, arts and sciences both ancient and modern including Ancient Greek beliefs, Jewish beliefs, goddess worship, evolutionary theories, sacred dance and nature mysticism in art and poetry The Living Universe proposes a more holistic philosophy of life than that proposed by the tenets of modern science.
