Overpopulation and overconsumption have jeopardized our survival, and the great promises of technology have resulted in environmental disaster. This situation, says author John Broomfield, results from the serious error the Western world makes in equating one way of knowing with all ways of knowing – mistaking a thin slice of reality for the whole. Broomfield argues that the necessary wisdom to chart a new course is available to us from many sources: the sacred traditions of our ancestors; the spiritual traditions of other cultures; spirit in nature; feminine ways of being; contemporary movements for personal, social, and ecological transformation; and the very source of our current crisis, science itself. \u003cem\u003eOther Ways of Knowing\u003c\/em\u003e shows us the wisdom of other cultures who may hold the knowledge necessary to arrest our headlong race toward destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the ancient Polynesian navigational technique of remote viewing to the formative causation theory of Rupert Sheldrake, \u003cem\u003eOther Ways of Knowing \u003c\/em\u003eexamines perceptions and practices that challenge the narrow perspective of the Western world and provide answers to the complex questions that face us as we move into the next millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 9780892816149\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e272 pages, 230 x 154 mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Broomfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Simon \u0026 Schuster","offer_id":51304258044068,"sku":"9780892816149","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/7200\/4772\/files\/9780892816149.jpg?v=1776304484","url":"https:\/\/bookreps.co.nz\/products\/other-ways-of-knowing","provider":"Bookreps NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
