About this title

From the Inside Flap

uably no more critical and pressing topic than the relation of science and religion in the modern world. Science has given us the methods for discovering truth, while religion remains the single greatest force for generating meaning. Yet the two are seen as mutually exclusive, with wrenching consequences for humanity. In The Marriage of Sense and Soul, one of today's most important philosophers brilliantly articulates how we might begin to think about science and religion in ways that allow for their reconciliation and union, on terms that will be acceptable to both camps.

From the Back Cover

There is arguably no more critical and pressing topic than the relationship between science and religion in the modern world. Science has given us the methods for discovering truth, while religion is the force that generates meaning. In The Marriage of Sense and Soul, Ken Wilber, one of today's most important philosophers, brilliantly articulates how we might begin to think about science and religion in ways that unite the spiritual, subjective world of ancient wisdom with the objective, empirical world of modern knowledge. Examining romantic, idealistic, and postmodern theories, he demonstrates how science is in fact compatible with the world's religious traditions and looks at the impact of this "philosophical Cold War" on the fate of humanity. In pointing the way to a union between truth and meaning, Ken Wilber has created an elegant, accessible book that is breathtaking in its scope and significance, and will guide readers to a more balanced, fulfilling life.
