Book Description
Jean Gebser was one of the most original and influential thinkers of the 20th century, though this work is the first collection of essays on Gebser to appear in English. The work begins with an analysis of Gebser's mode of inquiry and notes the distinguishing features of his theory of culture. The chapters that follow, each written by experts in a range of fields, explore Gebser's impact on the physical sciences, fine arts, popular culture, politics, philosophy, and other aspects of civilization. The volume convincingly demonstrates that Gebser is among the first postmodernist theorists.
