Synopsis

'Saving the Appearances' is about the world as we see it and the world as it is. It is about God, nature and the evolution of consciousness. Barfield takes us on an epic journey through the history of human thought - from the primordial consciousness of early man to that of our own times, evoking a wide range of sources including anthropology, physics, theology, and linguistics. "Owen Barfield is a paradigm-busting Christian thinker, and this is a book that will not go out of date."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Saving the Appearances is about the world as we see it and the world as it is; it is about God, human nature, and consciousness. The best known of numerous books by the British sage whom C.S. Lewis called the """"wisest and best of my unofficial teachers,"""" it draws on sources from mythology, philosophy, history, literature, theology, and science to chronicle the evolution of human thought from Moses and Aristotle to Galileo and Keats. Barfield urges his readers to do away with the assumption that the relationship between people and their environment is static. He dares us to end our exploitation of the natural world and to acknowledge, even revel in, our participation in the diurnal creative process.
