5.0 out of 5 stars
an autobiographical work by the Jesuit scientist...,
By Craig Chalquist, PhD, author of TERRAPSYCHOLO... (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heart Of Matter (Paperback)
...and evolutionary philosopher. Worth having, if only for more of the author's wonderfully intuitive insights and a rough chronology of the development of his thought. A man of spirit as well as the earth, I think he would have liked Marie-Louise von Franz's description of alchemy, a discipline akin to the Father's own pursuits: "divine power in matter."
