| Description: |
In a flourishing garden beyond all worlds, aging Greek gods gather to discuss existence, consciousness, and whether a transcendent God is the source of all reality. When Psyche asks Eros, "Do you see this flower, my love?", David Bentley Hart begins an imaginative philosophical dialogue exploring the mystery of mind.
Written in the style of Plato, the book challenges the mechanistic worldview that has dominated Western thought for centuries. Through the gods' conversations, Hart argues that consciousness cannot be reduced to material processes and that mind, life, and language point instead to an underlying spiritual intelligence we may call God.
Engaging debates on free will, artificial intelligence, physics, biology, linguistics, information theory, and the philosophy of mind, Hart presents a vision of nature as alive with meaning and intelligence. He invites readers to rediscover an enchanted world, where contemplation of living things offers deeper wisdom than the relentless pursuit of machines. |
