Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas

Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas

"[This] magnificent critical survey, with its inherent respect for both the 'Westt's mainstream high culture' and the 'radically changing world' of the 1990s, offers a new breakthrough for lay and scholarly readers alike....Allows readers to grasp the big picture of Western culture for the first time."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Here are the great minds of Western civilization and their pivotal ideas, from Plato to Hegel, from Augustine to Nietzsche, from Copernicus to Freud. Richard Tarnas performs the near-miracle of describing profound philosophical concepts simply but without simplifying them. Ten years in the making and already hailed as a classic, THE PASSION OF THE WESERN MIND is truly a complete liberal education in a single volume.

Richard Tarnas is the author of The Passion of the Western Mind, a Harvard-educated historian and professor of philosophy and psychology. Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World Vision, which he released in 2006, won the Book of the Year Prize from the Science and Medical Network in the United Kingdom. He is the founder and director of the California Institute of Integral Studies' graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness, as well as a member of the Pacifica Graduate Institute faculty.
