This stimulating book expresses the eonic drama of our eternal growth-from instinct to intuition. Skolimowski is a constant delight and surprise as an image-breaking philosopher/scientist/mystic. He establishes his position as an intrepid spokesperson for ecologically sound progress. He writes irreverent things in a reverent manner. From Prometheus to Prigogone, through a philosophy founded on experence, he develops the law of progressive developoment based on an ever-growing sensitivity to life.
Man, the author concludes, is a mind-makng animal and evolution works through us. We are its custiodians, the inheritors of tremendous stores of knowledge and of tremendous confusion.
'Glory to evolution.' concludes Skolimowski.
Henryk Skolimowski, a native of Poland, received his PhD. in Philosophy from Oxford University. An Associate Editor of The Ecologist, a consultant to UNESCO, the author has been a member of the task Force on Appropriate Technology of the United States Congress. He is the author of six books.
