Philosophical Fragments Of Your Ancient Name takes you on a journey of self-discovery from the edges of our solar system to the sanctuary of your soul - and beyond! The book explores four dimensions of the human mind: scientific, social, theological and mystic.
Philosophical Fragments Of Your Ancient Name opens with a peek into the cosmos as seen through the lens of modern science. That lens is then focused on the global climate change movement. We sketch out its many dimensions. Next we dig into the roles we play in secular society. We'll try to figure out why we need to do the things we do. Following that the roles religion plays in public life are explored. We conclude with a look at the nature of the gods we worship.
This thought-provoking book pulls no punches in scrutinizing modern society. Environmental debates like climate change and our impact on the planet are dissected with nuanced arguments. Technology's effects on our psychology and the growing inequality in our social systems are put under the microscope. The book boldly walks the line between rationalism and spiritual experience, challenging fixed views on both sides. You will walk away with your thinking stimulated in ways you didn't expect.
Philosophical Fragments of Your Ancient Name drills deep into the brain, into functions outside the control of the cerebral cortex. We uncover the root of instinctual paranoia of the other- the stranger- in our schizoid brain anatomy. The book questions how we can balance science and spirituality in a meaningful way. For those with a passion for unlocking life's deeper mysteries, chapters on consciousness and mysticism will leave minds truly awakened.
Whether or not you consider yourself a philosopher, this book promises to expand your mind with each turn of the page. You do not need to be a scholar to enjoy it. In Philosophical Fragments Of Your Ancient Name, life's mysteries become a pleasure to ponder.
