Synopsis

The book has a twofold content and aim: on the one hand it offers a radical critique of the modern world, and on the other it seeks to expound a timeless wisdom. And the second end presupposes the first: for so long as we have not 'broken through the barrier of scientistic belief' as the subtitle has it, that timeless wisdom-that veritable sophia perennis-remains inaccessible."

And with its incisive expository and critique of a veritable "rogues' gallery" of modern thinkers, Cosmos and Transcendence is foundational to the reclamation of the intellectual high ground in the ideological war being waged against our reason and humanity by the deadly goliath of Scientism.

About this title

About the Author

Wolfgang Smith graduated from Cornell at age eighteen with majors in physics, mathematics, and philosophy. He subsequently contributed a theoretical solution to the re-entry problem for space flight. After taking his doctorate in mathematics at Columbia, he served for thirty years as professor of mathematics at M.I.T., U.C.L.A., and Oregon State University. Smith then devoted himself to correcting the fallacies of scientistic belief, focusing on foundational problems pertaining to quantum theory and visual perception by way of the traditional tripartite cosmology. The Philos-Sophia Initiative Foundation's documentary on his life and work, "The End of Quantum Reality", is now available on disc and digital platforms worldwide.
