The Tao in My Own Nature
From: The Web of Meaning
$2.20
This chapter overturns much conventional thinking and points out that the natural world, our own nature, and the culture in which we are embedded, are all subject to the same principles. Natures’ self-organized intelligence, bees, ants, termites, and enacting our own consciousness are discussed. The author asks if our mechanistic world view may be ripe for collapse.
