The Next Enlightenment: Integrating East and West in a New Vision of Human EvolutionCan Eastern spiritual traditions and the Western heritage of philosophy, psychology and science be seen as steps along the same evolutionary path rather than as completely separate and incomparable schools of thought? The Next Enlightenment says they can, and offers a challenging new view of what may be in store for the human species.  --Mark Woodhouse, Library Journal "A compellling, forward-looking vision of evolution that brings together the disparate worlds of science and spirit, Asian mysticism and Western philosophy, evolutionary theory and developmental psychology" --Carter Phipps, What Is Enlightenment? "A recipe for diversity and a primer on how to think outside the box, a helpful and engaging intro to those new to the minefield of cross-disciplinary thought, and a wonderful review for those of us who read in this area daily." --Jon Fobes, Cleveland Plain Dealer |
