Maggiori informazioni sul libro
There's arguably no more critical & pressing topic than the relation of science & religion in the modern world. Science has given us the methods for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning. Yet the two are seen as mutually exclusive, with wrenching consequences for humanity. In The Marriage of Sense & Soul, one of today's most important philosophers brilliantly articulates how we might begin to think about science & religion in ways that allow for their reconciliation & union, on terms that will be acceptable to both camps. Wilber is widely acclaimed as the foremost thinker in integrating Western psychology & the Eastern spiritual traditions. His many books have reached across disciplines & synthesized the teachings of religion, psychology, physics, mysticism, sociology & anthropology, earning him a devoted international following. The Marriage of Sense & Soul is his most accessible work yet, aimed at guiding a general audience to the mutual accord between the spiritual, subjective world of ancient wisdom & the objective, empirical world of modern knowledge. Wilber clearly & succinctly explores the schism between science & religion, & the impact of this 'philosophical Cold War' on the fate of humanity. He systematically reviews previous attempts at integration, explaining why romantic, idealistic & postmodern theories failed. & he demonstrates how science is compatible with certain deep features common to all of the world's major religious traditions. In pointing the way to a union between truth & meaning, Wilber has created an elegant & accessible book that is breathtaking in its scope.
