Synopsis

This book offers an innovative view of everyday reality. It clarifies how the spatial dimension of reality, as well as our personal and inter\-personal perception and interaction with reality, aggravates human separateness at the expense of human connectedness. It shows how many urgent societal challenges are affected by an imbalance between spatial and the non\-spatial aspects, and offers an analysis of the impoverishment of society, both in spatial terms (spatialisation) and in informational terms (digitalisation). Drawing on insights from quantum physics and depth psychology, it proposes an unorthodox view of the potential of humans, and of reality in itself, that was lost in this impoverishment. \x22\x22I found this book hugely interesting, highly original and very well written. I havent come across these ideas presented in quite this way, and so the book could be considered a groundbreaking contribution\x22\x22 Dr Stephan Harding, Resident Ecologist Schumacher College, Author of \x27Animate Earth\x27.
