Science & Philosophy: The Failure of Reason in the Human Community - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How is progress defined in the global village? There are undoubtedly many definitions of how humanity moves forward. In this book we have chosen a simple definition. Progress would be creating a sustainable human community on our planet where compassion is the highest and most life-enhancing behavior. Most people probably assume the disciplines of science and philosophy would have made significant contributions to the evolution of humanity. Defining progress as relative change and intellectual problem-solving, that would be true. Defining progress as creating consciousness, reducing self-destructive reactive behaviors, peace of mind and compassion, then we would have to say, science and philosophy have failed us. SCIENCE The emerging disciplines of a new science will lead us into a radically transformed worldview which we call Simple Reality. Intuitive understanding of this "new" science is ancient and can be found in the world’s sacred texts, world mythology and the writing of mystics. Only the way the new science is conceived and formulated is new—the inner wisdom has always been felt in the heart of the awakened mystic. PHILOSOPHY If philosophy is to be charged with solving the practical problems of an unconscious humanity then it must find a way to support the process of awakening that we advocate in the Simple Reality Project. To do that philosophers must themselves be awake to the most profound distinctions between reality and illusion.
