The Evolutionary Mind: Conversations on Science, Imagination and Spiritby Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham and Terence McKenna
Review-a-Day (What is Review-a-Day?)"[W]ide-ranging, erudite, achingly articulate, and entirely focused....There is no question that the book delivers radical, mind-blowing encounters on every page. Yet the form of conversation lends a spirit of generosity to the rendering of very complex ideas....While not culminating in any ultimate, mutual determinations, the existence of these trialogues assures the evolution of the ideas within them — all readers will feel stimulated to spawn their own impassioned conversations examining consciousness and its potential." Sarah Fox, Rain Taxi (read the entire Rain Taxi review) Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Stimulating and often startling discussions between three friends, all highly original thinkers: Rupert Sheldrake, controversial biologist; Terence McKenna, psychedelic visionary; and Ralph Abraham, chaos mathematician.
Their passion is to break out of paradigms that retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the psychic powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the heavens, the nature of God, and transformations of consciousness. Review:"The gentlemen in Trialogues give us permission to clutch after grand patterns as we slide down the shoot, to grapple with the increasingly pervasive intuition that, for better or for worse, something mutant this way comes." The Village Voice Review:"Three fine thinkers take us plunging into the universe of chaos, mind, and spirit. Instead of leaving us lost, they bring us back with startling insights and more wonder than we knew we had." Matthew Fox, Original Blessing and Sheer Joy Review:"A jam-session of the mind, an intellectual movable feast, an on-going conversation that began over twenty years ago and remains as lively and relevant today as it ever was. Sadly, Terence had to leave the conversation a little earlier than planned. But the appearance of this book of trialogues at this critical, historical juncture is a reaffirmation of the potency of the optimistic vision that the trialogues express."
