Scott reviewed Journey of the universe by Brian Thomas Swimme
Review of 'Journey of the universe' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A short and accessible read yet one with an ambitious goal, to reorient the place and role of the human within the cosmos. Topically categorized as "Science/Religion," it strongly inhabits the forward slash between the two and thus is likely to meet with detractors from both fields.
Ultimately, it is an attempt to introduce the beginnings of a new story, informed by both scientific discoveries and subjective human experience, as a means of offering an exit route from the death spiral of modernity. I was inspired and moved by it and feel it merits serious consideration and engagement.
