Sherrard, Philip : Human Image: World Image: The Death and Resurrection of Sacred Cosmology

(New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) 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. Reprint of 1992 Golgonooza Press Edition. 233 x 144 mm, 188 Pages.. Book. Book Condition: New Book from Greece. Binding: Soft cover
