"We’ve traded mystery for mastery, and we’ve gotten a very bad deal from this. What it has done is put the entire planet in peril and every life form on it. " --Rachel Naomi Remen
Charles Bigger: On Philosophy
"Our contemporary tradition has made the ego so central. And it solidifies itself with the whole idea that knowledge is power. Essentially, this means that our relation to the world is a technological relation. That's just the opposite of an earlier vision. Knowledge was what allowed one to participate in the life of God. I went into philosophy because it was the one place where I thought I could keep both my scientific interest and my literary interest alive!" For those with a taste for philosophy, this conversation will be a rare treat.
