Book Synopsis

The world faces a crisis of meaning. The old stories whether the exclusive claims of rival religions or the grand schemes of perennial philosophy seem bankrupt to many. The editorial stance of this book is that mysticism and science offer a way forward here, but only if they abandon the idol of a single logical synthesis and acknowledge the diversity of different ways of knowing. The contributors, from disciplines as diverse as music, psychology, mathematics and religion, build a vision that honours diversity while pointing to an implicit unity.
