Insight-Imagination: The Emancipation of Thought and the Modern World - Paperback

by Douglas Sloan (Author)

Insight-imagination is an important contribution to emerging postmodern understandings of science and epistemology. Sloan argues that the modem 'technicist' worldview is responsible for the ecological devastation and pervasive spiritual alienation threatening humanity in our age. He explains in clear, non-technical language how the ideas of physicist David Bohm, philosophers Michael Polanyi and Owen Barfield, and other holistic thinkers portray a way of knowing that engages the whole person in a deeply meaningful relationship with the world.
