Description
In his selective survey of the history and development of science, L. Francis Edmunds illustrates how the quest for meaning of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Harvey, Darwin, Einstein and others led to discoveries which now shape our existence and dominate our consciousness. While scientific advancements afforded humanity the ability to control and manipulate outer nature, it greatly diminished our inner perspicacity, moral integrity, and transformed our world view. Edmunds also reveals how the scientific quests of Chardin, Goethe, and Steiner have introduced innovative concepts which lead us towards a new spiritual understanding of knowledge.
