A tour-de-force reconceiving the interrelationship between science,
industry, culture, and politics from the coeditor of The Case
Against the Global Economy
First published in 1992, The Way is Edward Goldsmith's magnum
opus. In it, he proposes that the stability and integrity of humans
depend on the preservation of the balance of natural systems
surrounding the individual -- family, community, society,
ecosystem, and the ecosphere itself. Portraying life processes and
ecological thinking as holistic, Goldsmith calls for a paradigm
shift away from the reductionist approach of modern science.
The basic belief in the whole was at the heart of the worldview
of primal, earth-oriented societies, as manifested by the Tao of
the ancient Chinese, the R'ta of Vedic India, the Asha of the
Avestas, and the Sedeq of the tribal Hebrews. "The Way" was the
path taken to maintain the critical order of the cosmos. Echoing
the way of traditional cultures, Goldsmith presents an
all-embracing, coherent worldview that promotes more harmonious and
sustainable practices capable of satisfying real biological,
social, ecological, and spiritual needs.
Revised to include a glossary, index, bibliographic notes, and
several updated chapters, this is a major work by one of our
boldest and most promising thinkers.
