Synopsis

Exploring the profound impact of science and technology on the world, this argument seeks to prove that science has repercussions on contemporary spiritual life. Max Planck, Walter Benjamin, and Albert Einstein join ancient and medieval thinkers alike to inform the thrust of his argument. A person's place in the world depends upon redressing the balance, and these essays offer a stimulating new look at how to balance two such important aspects of life.
