Saving the Appearances by Owen Barfield
Saving the Appearances is about the world as we see it and the world as it is; it is about God, human nature, and consciousness. The best known of numerous books by the British sage whom C.S. Lewis called the wisest and best of my unofficial teachers, it draws on sources from mythology, philosophy, history, literature, theology, and science to chronicle the evolution of human thought from Moses and Aristotle to Galileo and Keats. Barfield urges his readers to do away with the assumption that the relationship between people and their environment is static. He dares us to end our exploitation of the natural world and to acknowledge, even revel in, our participation in the diurnal creative process.Preserving the Appearances (1988), Poetic Diction (1984), and Worlds Apart (1971) are among the many volumes written by OWEN BARFIELD, a distinguished philosopher, jurist, and student of the nature of language and human consciousness. At the time of his death in 1997, he was living in East Sussex, UK. G.B. is a long-time buddy of Barfield's. TENNYSON is an English professor at UCLA and the editor of A Carlyle Reader (1984). He is also the author of Owen Barfield on C.S. Lewis. Lewis (Wesleyan University Press, 1989) and other works.
