Product Description
We live in a strangely fragmented lifeworld. On the one hand, abstract constructions of our own imagination--such as money, ""mere"" facts, and mathematical models--are treated by us as important objective facts. On the other hand, our understanding of the concrete realities of meaning and value in which our daily lives are actually embedded--love, significance, purpose, wonder--are treated as arbitrary and optional subjective beliefs. This is because, to us, only quantitative and instrumentally useful things are considered to be accessible to the domain of knowledge. Our lifeworld is designed to dis-integrate knowledge from belief, facts from meanings, immanence from transcendence, quality from quantity, and ""mere"" reality from the mystery of being. This book explores two questions: why should we, and how can we, reintegrate being, knowing, and believing? ""Modern science, focusing on facts and power, is neither coherent nor existentially adequate. Instead of this crumbling edifice, the author of this book erects a new one--which actually is the old one--founded on the wonder of existence and the appreciation of finding ourselves in a world that makes sense. The solution he offers is not only intellectually satisfying; it is even essential for solving the scientific, political, and moral challenges of our time."" --Knut Alfsvag, professor of systematic theology, VID Specialized University, Stavanger, Norway; author of
