5.0 out of 5 stars
a timely book for a humanity in crisis, November 8, 2009
This review is from: Only a God Can Save Us: Heidegger, Poetic Imagination and the Modern Malaise (Paperback)
"In a time when scientists are constantly warning of environmental disasters, it is inspiring to read a book that engages with the troubles of our times in a spiritually uplifting and poetically inspiring fashion. One cannot read this book and fail to be moved. It will take you into the depths of philosophical reflection and on to the heights of active commitment."
- Stan van Hooft, Associate Professor, Deakin University, Melbourne
author of Life, Death, and Subjectivity
"...an enthralling exercise... it provokes readers to question... To read this book is rather like taking a walk in the countryside after weeks spent on an autobahn. At this moment in history, when humanity finds itself at a crossroad, Only a god can save us looks at a place between paths and considers the role of humility and clarity; it provides urgently needed re-cognition of how this might be a way back to ourselves".
- Clare Allan-Kamil, author, playwright, editor, reviewer
