Towards the Noosphere; Futures Singular and Plural 

Description

This paperback continues the explorations begun in the Prometheus Trust’s small paperback Platonism and the World Crisis. The two essays contained in this new book address the broad question, “What is to be done?” In the first, Towards the Noosphere, Professor John M Dillon explores the writings of Plotinus, Origen, and Teilhard de Chardin in order to consider the nature of the universe in which we live – and from their insights to consider the goals towards which we strive. In the second, Futures Singular and Plural, Professor Stephen R L Clark examines further speculations upon these matters from more recent theorists writing in disciplines of philosophy, science and science fiction.
