Beyond Civilization: A Review

December 20, 2001

Format: Paperback

Keith Chandler's book is a fascinating read. While his "Mindset Theory" is a new and refreshing look at the civilisations of the world, it is based on a lifetime of scholarly research.
It is written in an easy conversational style and I especially liked not having to flip to the end of the chapter, or the back of the book for footnotes.
Chandler's "Mindset Theory" opens up a whole new way of looking at various cultures, societies, and religious faiths.
"Beyond Civilization" should be required reading for every student in philosophy, history, or religion.
It will be a basic text in the World Religions Course I will be directing next spring.
A Super Read!
