Brilliant Commentary on Science and Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book, ostensibly a book about education, is much more than that. Sloan has written a superb critique of the western mind's fascination with the scientific world-view, and the belittling consequences that this fascination has had upon the human soul. It responds brilliantly both to the forces of fundamentalism and the forces of atheism. Written with a rare combination of elegance and clarity, it is a book that can open minds and hearts to a much deeper understanding of our civilization.
