FROM THE PUBLISHER

These hard￯﾿ﾽhitting essays, written for the intelligent lay reader, offer a re￯﾿ﾽevaluation of what we think of as reality. They seek to question, expand upon, or place in a very different light ideas and events which over the past millennium, and over the past three hundred years especially, have shaped our perceptions of outer and inner reality. The fundamentals of science, philosophy, religion and the social sciences all come within the scope of this short but intense enquiry, the object of which is to stimulate and to challenge￯﾿ﾽleading, we hope, to fresh thought about important issues and to a better understanding of what it means to be human.
