Reading The Passion of the Western Mind | Alexandria
Read The Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas. Mapping humanity's evolving consciousness reveals how our view of reality has transformed from an enchanted cosmos to a mechanistic universe - and may be shifting again. Tarnas provocatively argues that the entire Western intellectual tradition reflects an archetypal "birth process" of human consciousness, with our current crisis of meaning serving as labor pains for a new worldview.
