Science and spirituality. Convergence of the sublimes
Description
In order for both science and spirituality to coexist in the world, must an individual necessarily place one above the other? Or, if treated as coequals, must the empirical and the intangible always be kept separate, never to intersect? In bringing together proponents of science and spirituality, this program proposes a third course: to encourage the overlapping of these contrasting worldviews in a revolutionary union of wisdom-and by joining strength to strength, facilitate the salvation of the Earth as humankind stands at the brink of global environmental catastrophe. Participants include B. Alan Wallace, of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies; author and futurist Peter Russell; Jacob Needleman, of San Francisco State University; and Sister Joan Chittister.
