Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find our Place in the Universe
New!
This book lays out an entirely different foundation for a civilization that could lead us sustainably through this century and beyond. It reveals the flaws hidden within the current worldview, showing how certain erroneous ideas became so entrenched in popular thinking that they simply got taken for granted – and how that has led to our current predicament. Most importantly, it shows how the combined insights of traditional l wisdom and modern scientific thinking offer a solid, integrated foundation for another worldview – one that could redirect human civilization onto a very different trajectory and offer future generations a flourishing world in which to thrive.
