About this Item

Lt. shelf wear. Pages fine, no writing. 325 pages. Including the now-classic essays "The Pre/Trans Fallacy" and "A Mandalic Map of Consciousness." A genuine "new paradigm" - a base for a new epistemology-cum-worldview capable of accommodating the data of empirical science, psychology, philosophy, and metaphysics - is still many years away. Meanwhile, we are discrediting ourselves with sloppy thinking and premature syntheses. It is possible, however, to at least sketch in the new paradigm: an elaborate marriage of the perennial philosophy with Western psychology and evolutionary theory. Some of its aspects can be elaborated: e.g., "my general theory of repression," positing six types of the unconscious. It's also possible to say what it will not look like: namely, the current physics/mysticism fads in general, and the much-touted "holographic paradigm" in particular. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
