内容简介：
The journey in thought encompassed by this book is a journey of discovery along well established paths of human inquiry, but instead of going forward it takes the reader back; back through the expansion of science and the development of our mechanistic perspectives to the impetus of early mathematics upon the scientific point of view, back through the long chain of philosophical constructions that gave rise to science and religions, back to the beginnings of philosophical inquiry in myth and logic, back past Man's earliest formal thoughts to the beginnings of language and the dimension of mind before self awareness. This is a journey of introspection, intuition and interpretation. It is an adventure in alternate perspectives and unexplored possibilities. It does not seek truth in the scientific sense. Instead it seeks an acceptable alternate view from which we can find renewal in a universe unfolding in such immense dimensions that our importance and purpose seem to be shrinking into insignificance. Readers who embark on the journey will explore the depths of scientific cosmology as poetry, the beauty of early mythological accounts of creation as prose, and listen-in as Edith converses with the Creator.
