This book targets individuals outside established churches, assuming familiarity with both Christian claims and atheistic counterclaims. The author, a biologist specializing in brain research, critiques the prevailing scientific materialist perspective, arguing it is overly narrow and overlooks significant aspects of human experience. He diverges from Christian thinkers like Don Cupitt and John Polkinghorne, advocating for a viewpoint that embraces human subjectivity, artistic experience, and the reality of persons, while positing a God characterized by goodness but limited power, along with the existence of absolute truth and values. The first section outlines the dominant philosophical stance among educated individuals today and its connection to the rise of scientific knowledge, portraying modern materialism as a distortion of historical thought. The second section delves into human subjectivity and the mind-brain relationship. The final section contends that contemporary individuals need myths as much as earlier societies did, proposing fundamental myths that resonate with human experience. Amid negativity, this work offers a constructive exploration of essential human questions and contributes meaningfully to the dialogue between science and religion.

Ein umfassender Leitfaden für Anfänger, um die Welt des Wabi-Sabi von A bis Z zu erlernen
Die Welt von Wabi-Sabi Unter den Japanern gibt es eine weit verbreitete Geschichte über die frühen Jahre eines Teemeisters namens Sen No Rikyu. Als Sohn eines bescheidenen Lagerverwalters versuchte er, seinen Status zu verbessern, indem er den Weg des Tees beherrschte - eine alte japanische Tradition für die feierliche Zubereitung und das Servieren von Tee. Im Alter von 19 Jahren verließ er sein Zuhause in Osaka, um eine Audienz bei einem Meister (Takeno Joo) zu suchen. Der Meister stimmte zu, Rikyu als Schüler aufzunehmen, aber nur, wenn er seine Prüfung bestand, die seinen Garten "perfekt" machen sollte. Rikyu kümmerte sich um den Garten seines Meisters und harkte sorgfältig jede Stelle, bis kein einziges abgefallenes Blatt mehr auf dem Boden lag. Kurz nachdem er seinen Meister gerufen hatte, um seine Arbeit zu überprüfen, ging er auf einen Kirschbaum in der Mitte des Gartens zu und begann, ihn kräftig zu schütteln. Infolgedessen lagen Hunderte von Kirschblüten verstreut auf dem Boden. An diesem Punkt akzeptierte der Meister Rikyu als seinen Schüler und brachte ihm alles bei, was er wissen wollte.

Kniha známého pokořitele Mount Everestu pojednává o jiné jeho výpravě. Pramen Gangy byl znám, avšak ještě dlouho si spolu s celým horním tokem řeky Bhágirathí zachovával pověst tajemného a nepřístupného místa, a to nejen díky své odlehlosti, nýbrž i proto, že Indové dlouho bránili cizincům v přístupu do této části své země. Nedostal se sem ani v Indii velmi populární Sir Edmund Hillary, když uspořádal v roce 1977 svou slavnou expedici „From the Ocean to the Sky“ („Od oceánu k oblakům“), během níž se pokusil vyjet na tryskových člunech od ústí Gangy do moře co nejvýše proti jejímu proudu. Kvůli své strategické poloze u hranic z Čínou byla tehdy ještě celá oblast stále součástí cizincům nepřístupných území, a tak musel slavný Novozélanďan u Dévaprajágu se svými čluny odbočit do Alaknandy a Gómukh navštívili jen dva indičtí členové jeho výpravy.
