Spirit in Nature

Where did we come from? Who are we tiny specks, living on a tiny planet in the vast cosmic void? Where are we heading? What is the meaning of it all? How did humankind acquire the intelligence to ask these questions? The story of Evolution, the emergence of Mind, the perceptions from the sensory and imaginative worlds of Experience, and the realization of the splendor of nature's Beauty may provide some answers. We live in a harmonious and beautiful world, our living planet-Earth, nurtured by the fragile biosphere, and enveloped by a vibrant Universe. Some scientists and philosophers now ponder the possible rebirth of an ancient belief, panpsychism, the concept of cosmic consciousness. This book explores our place in it all. There may indeed be Spirit in Nature.
