Summary: better then most on postmodernism
Comment: Mr.Griffin has very nice ideas and this book certainly deserves to be read .Hard core common sensuality is the nicest look at reality that I know.
But I have not chosen to give 5 stars because of one expression where Mr.Griffin says in order to praise the traditional cultures that they have managed to survive for thousands of years wheras we are not sure if modernity will make next century.This is a very wrong idea ;resistance to time has got nothing to do with truth value and this is something we must care about a lot.Many traditional civilizitions killed the people who criticized them in order to resist time, is this something to be praised? If moderns accepted to change their minds after a paradigmatic scientific discovery does this show their weakness or strength?.Do you accept to believe in sea goddess who does not like her father and whose hair we have to comb in order to get rid of bad luck because it has lasted more then modern science?We need more than gentleness (as well as needing gentleness) to every culture in order to build a meaningful relation with reality.
The idea of a constructive postmodernism and this book are very good but they need further development too.

Summary: David Ray Giffin has shown great courage in writing this bo
Comment: I have read a number of books on parapsychology and regard this one as the most important I've read to date. Griffin is to be applauded for his courage and originality. I would like to dialogue with anyone (including the author) who might wish to delve deeper into the book's philosphical and political implications.
