LF258 Steve Taylor – Spiritual Science: Why Science Needs Spirituality to Make Sense of the World

Steve Taylor discusses his book Spiritual Science – Why Science Needs Spirituality to Make Sense of the World. Is it possible that the most profound mysteries of existence can be solved not through science or spirituality alone, but through an approach that combines them both? In this groundbreaking book, Steve Taylor offers a new vision of the world that is compatible with both modern science and ancient spiritual teachings. Spiritual Science reveals Taylor’s ‘panspiritist’ view of reality, one that transcends both conventional science and religion, and answers many of the riddles that neither can fully explain. The standard model of science has had limited success in explaining many phenomena, including consciousness, the connection between mind and body, altruism, and anomalies such as near-death experiences, psychic phenomena and spiritual awakenings, to name just a few. But from a panspiritist perspective – which sees spirit or consciousness as a fundamental essence of reality – it is possible to make sense of all these things. Drawing on the insights of philosophers, physicists, and mystics, as well as spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures, Taylor makes a compelling case for a spiritual vision of reality; a vision of a sacred and interconnected world, and of a meaningful and purposeful human life. The purely materialist model of reality is taking us to the brink of disaster. It is time to take a wider view before it’s too late.
