Reason And Wonder A Copernican Revolution In Science And Spirit [Hardcover]

Defining a moment in human self-awareness four centuries in the making, Reason and Wonder: A Copernican Revolution in Science and Spirit offers a way to move beyond the either/or choice of reason versus intuitiona dichotomy that ultimately leaves either the mind or the heart wanting. In doing so, it seeks to resolve an age-old conflict at the root of much human dysfunction, including today's global ecological crisis.

An outgrowth of C. David Pruett's breakthrough undergraduate honors course, From Black Elk to Black Holes: Shaping Myth for a New Millennium, Reason and Wonder embraces the insights of modern science and the wisdom of spiritual traditions to re-enchant the universe. The new myth of meaning unfolds as the story of three successive Copernican revolutions cosmological, biological, and spiritualoffers an expansive view of human potential as revolutionary as the work of Copernicus, Galilleo, and Darwin.
