We live in an era of global anxiety - about rising nationalism, civil and human rights struggles, the ramifications of declining white male hegemony, about driving ourselves and other species toward extinction.
So it's no surprise that we also seek transcendence of our material circumstances.
But exploring the possibilities of transcendence of our materiality - whether through religion, philosophy, psychology, or literature - is not a new feature of thought, art, or action.
This book explores.
