For centuries, from the earliest legends of the man on the moon,
mankind has fantasized and speculated about other life in the
universe. With the discovery of biochemical evolution - which
showed how life could evolve out of simple compounds - those
speculations took on a new dimension. Most scientists now believe
that it is possible that there is other intelligent life in the
universe.
What are the possibilities of our making contact with ETIs in the
profound vastness of space (a problem, as Isaac Asimov notes, too
easily dismissed by cultists)? What will be the consequences to our
images of ourselves and our world of the first proven contact with
beings from another planet, since they are likely to be of superior
intelligence? Could we still believe in the value of life as we
live it? How would it affect mankind's religions, both Western and
Eastern? Would it in fact mean, as Arthur C. Clarke has said, an
end to mankind's childhood?
These and other questions are explored in Extraterrestrial
Intelligence - from the most practical issues, such as how the news
of contact should be handled, to the most exciting and troubling
questions of philosophy, religion, and science.
Extraterrestrial Intelligence begins the search for a cosmic
context for mankind. It leads the way in reflecting on the next
stage in our gradual self-discovery.
