"Mr. Linderman has the highly focused purpose of reaching out to
those of us who are overly infected by Enlightenment thinking-and
who isn't?-and providing the foundation for a mode of thinking that
should engage everyone who reads about it and will astonish
everyone who truly understands it." -Frederick Dennehy, honored New
Jersey attorney "Linderman demonstrates how consciousness
evolves...helping me understand the development work we do at
Sekem." -Ibrahim Abouleish, Founder of Sekem and winner of the 2003
Right Livelihood Award (Alternative Nobel Prize), and the Nobel
Laureate-led Oslo Business for Peace Award (2012) "A deftly guided
and joyful journey...truly to reexamine everything we know as well
as how we came to know it.... Not just some clever thought
experiment; it is a matter of our survival. -Michael Metzler,
Enrichment Instructor, Rochester Institute of Technology "A
practical guidance to remedy the malaise of a society devoid of
wonder." -Emily Ann Roy "Consider it a source for university
courses in consciousness and culture, an excellent round-up of
calls for 'reconnecting mind and matter, ' or a lively tale of a
man's victorious slaying of the old enlightenment and his wise
welcome to the new, but read this timely book." -Gertrude Reif
Hughes, Professor Emerita, Wesleyan University, Connecticut
Empirical knowledge is only one side of "reality." Empirical
knowledge is all about the "outside," the surfaces of objects, the
matter we can see and touch. It does not speak to the "insides,"
the unconscious inner reality, subjectivity, feelings, and meaning
that humans contribute to the world of objects we experience in our
day-to-day lives. The New Enlightenment looks at the inside from
that place phenomenologist Edmund Husserl termed "the great world
of the interiority of consciousness." Using the insights of Owen
Barfield (1898-1997) as his starting point, Linderman investigates
the nature of consciousness, the Enlightenment, scientific
thinking, belief, and the power of imagination. This book is for
those who appreciate the insights of alternative thinkers but feel
at the mercy of an engineer neighbor, an amateur science buff
friend, or skeptical relatives. They confidently present clear,
reasoned, scientific arguments to discredit, or at least bring
considerable doubt to the veracity of the claims of the alternative
thinkers you find compelling. Before you can explain why you find
such alternative writers so helpful, you need to be able to
articulate succinctly the theory of knowledge that undergirds their
ideas. If you struggle to do so now, you will find help in this
book.
