Five critical essays on today’s way of life and the ideas and beliefs that lie behind it.
Subjects discussed include: the ecological crisis; modernisation in the Christian Church; the discoveries of cosmology and their implications; the virus crisis of 2019-20; and the domination of our lives by technology.
Looks back to some great philosophers of the past and their holistic vision of humanity in contrast to the scientific materialism of today.
Philosophy and Vision: Essays on Nature, God and Man
This book brings together five substantial essays about modern beliefs and currents affairs. It argues that our thinking on Christianity, on Environmentalism, on the recent virus crisis, and on the future of our civilisation, is lacking in clarity and in a true philosophical perspective. Modern thought and discourse are criticised for being bleakly materialistic, and leading us to an ever-more dangerous future. These defects of today’s thinking are contrasted with the power and the confidence which philosophy once had to pursue a coherent vision of our existence within the cosmos. This book is full of original and controversial ideas will be welcomed by those who are concerned about where our history is taking us.
