Description

In these lively and provocative essays, philosopher and polymath Raymond Tallis challenges commonplace truths and exposes woolly thinking. As an intellectual heavyweight, Tallis takes to task much of contemporary science and philosophy, arguing that modern approaches often lead to narrowing conduits of problem solving that require increasingly complex responses. This collection by Routledge pulls the rug from beneath a wide range of commentators, including scientists, theologians, philosophers, and pundits. Tallis argues that in the pursuit of technical solutions, we have lost sight of wonder - the metaphysical intoxication that originally gave birth to philosophy 2,500 years ago. This book is a deep reflection on the need to reclaim that sense of wonder in our intellectual lives.
