A Chaos of Delight is a comprehensive tour guide into the
succession of ways human beings have constructed order and meaning
about the world, and their place in it. The book examines how
various cultures over the past 5000 years have looked at the same
phenomena and devised totally different worldviews, ranging from
deep mythopoeic supernatural reflections to purely physical ones.
One unifying feature that stands out above all others is the most
certain thing about human knowledge in general, and science,
religion or myth in particular, is its uncertainty. From a
cross-cultural perspective, one's religious views are framed by
articles of faith derived from history, and within its highly
prescribed boundaries, profoundly subtle ways, the journey
challenges the reader to confront their own worldview, and to
better understand its origins and development through the history
of ideas. An important lesson for the third millennium is that
diversity of opinion is healthy and essential - it is blind
acceptance of dogma that impedes understanding and progress.
