Its objectives of growth and acquisition and its guiding pri nciples asserting that there is no intrinsic meaning to life or purpose in the c osmos are now widely seen as creating an unsustainable world. The essays gathere d in A New Renaissance are a cultural response to the failings of the prevailing materialistic worldview. Contributions in the first part diagnose the sources of the crises in today's world. The second section searches for a new understanding of consciousness and mind, based on findings in recent non-materialistic fields of philosophy.
