States of Grace: The Recovery of Meaning in the Postmodern Age
Spretnak discusses the relevance of ancient wisdom traditions to modern concerns. She then examines four specific wisdom traditions: Buddhist, Native American, Goddess, and Semitic. She finds teachings about the nature of mind and the origin of fear, delusion, greed, and violence; about our intimate relationship with nature and the cosmos; about honoring our bodies, sexuality, and the Earthbody; and about social justice and community. Her final chapter concerns the recovery of meaning and the cosmological basis for creative possibility. This is recommended for most libraries.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
