Wiser Politics, A – Psyche, Polis, Cosmos

We live in a time of disenchantment with the political formula of conservative, liberal, labour, communist, and need a reframed view of the issues we now face - the dangerous way humans are living on the earth; the disparity between richest and poorest; the loss of species, the globalisation of religious and social systems and the inherent conflicts inherent. This book explores how a radically revised view of the nature of the person can be linked more intelligently to the social system, and how both require an awareness that we live in a mysterious and awesome universe. To begin to do this, we need to examine more closely the stories and myths we are living out now, and which are arguably self-fulfilling prophecies.
