The Accidental Immigrant is the capstone work of world-renown
author Professor Kyriacos C. Markides, based on his over
fifty-year-quest for an authentic understanding of the true nature
of Reality. As a teenager he arrived at the docs of New York in
1960 with the purported aim of earning a business degree and
returning to his native Cyprus. Thanks to a string of uncanny
coincidences he soon realized that the real meaning and purpose of
his Atlantic crossing was not the acquisition of practical skills
but the development of his social awareness and spiritual
consciousness. This is the story, among other things, of his
valiant struggles to assimilate within American society and
culture, of his peace activism to help heal the wounds of ethnic
strife in his native Island, and of his relentless quest for
spiritual fulfillment within the challenging confines of the
secular and agnostic world of modern academia. As a sociologist and
a field researcher he shares with us his encounters with a variety
of remarkable people that include colorful Christian shamans and
healers possessors of paranormal gifts as well as charismatic monks
and ascetics who exposed him to the magnificent spiritual wisdom of
Eastern mystical Christianity. It is, among other things, these
kinds of experiences that step by step led him to realize that
there is a deeper Truth over and beyond our physical and sensate
universe that is the foundation and wellspring of everything that
happens in our lives within the three-dimensional world. And it is
this awareness that could eventually lead towards the integration
of the best of science with the best of religion for the long-term
survival of the human race.
Providing theoretical and applied analyses of Michel Henry’s
practical philosophy in light of his guiding idea of Life, this is
the first sustained exploration of Henry’s practical thought in
anglophone literature, reaffirming his centrality to contemporary
continental thought. This book ranges from the tension between his
methodological insistence on life as non-intentional and worldly
activities to Henry’s engagement with the practical philosophy of
intellectuals such as Marx, Freud, and Kandisky to topics of
application such as labor, abstract art, education, political
liberalism, and spiritual life. An international team of leading
Henry scholars examine a vital dimension of Henry's thinking that
has remained under-explored for too long.
