The revolutionary changes in mental outlook that took place in western Christendom four centuries ago, and that produced the modern scientific movement, are the major cause of the crisis in which the world finds itself today. By setting the modern scientific picture of the universe and man's place in it against the background of pre-Christian and Christian cosmology and anthropology, the author shows how our acceptance of this picture has literally enslaved us to a vast collective lie whose ramification in the major spheres of our thoughts and action cannot but vandalize and desecrate both ourselves and the world we live in.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. Soft Cover, Stitched Binding. Reprint of 1992 Golgonooza Press Edition. 233 x 144 mm, 188 Pages. It is now only too evident that the revolutionary changes in mental outlook that took place in western Christendom some three or four centuries ago, and that produced the modern scientific movement, are the major cause of the crisis in which the world finds itself today. Yet the terrifying consequences of the practical exploitation of modern science are usually attributed not to modern science as such but simply to its misapplication and abuse. We are even told, with a naivety that is as inconsequential as it is typical, that modern science must be good because what is true cannot be evil and since modern science produces results, it must be true. This book attacks such misconceptions head-on, and at the deepest level. By setting the modern scientific picture of the universe and man's place in it against the background of pre-Christian and Christian cosmology and anthropology, Philip Sherrard (1922-1995) shows unambiguously how our acceptance of this picture has literally enslaved us to a vast collective lie whose ramification in the major spheres of our thought and action cannot but vandalize and desecrate both ourselves and the world we live in.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Very much a companion book to both The Eclipse of Man and Nature and The Sacred In Life and Art, Human Image: World Image shares with both a tendency toward maximalism and a disarming disdain for modern science. Sherrard's driving message here is that before we can effectively deal with ecological problems we have to change our world image, which means ''unless our own evaluation of ourselves, and of what constitutes the true nature of our being, changes, the way we treat the world about us will not change either.'' In short, modern man has forgotten who he is, insisting that he can and must examine the material world as if it is independent of the invisible, metaphysical reality beyond it. Sherrard posits that contemporary scientific theory is not, in fact, neutral or value-free as we have come to believe, and that this scientific mentality continues to erode our sense of the sacred. We must recover not only our self-image as sacred beings but also our relationship with nature (our theoanthropocosmic vision) so that the two, in concord, can be restored to their sacred realities. Sherrard traces his anthropologic and cosmologic journey from the Renaissance through the attempted reconciliations of modern science and religion by the Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin and the poet Oskar Milosz (uncle of Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz). His conclusion involves an almost rhapsodic declaration of the Mother of God as the intrinsic bridge between the spiritual and material natures of all creation. 242 pp. Seller Inventory # 233556
